Hmm, something like system-printer-configuration doesn’t seem to exist on 
Ubuntu/Kubuntu. But if you meant, I should configure the local CUPS server 
instead of KDE, I could also use the web frontend under http://localhost:631, 
couldn’t I?

Do you mean, I should configure the local CUPS server to use another server? 
This could solve my problem. However, I actually wanted to configure KDE to use 
the remote CUPS server directly so that I could very well remove the local 
CUPS server altogether.

I’d really like to know whether the print system of KDE 4 can only contact 
localhost or whether it can contact CUPS servers on arbitrary hosts, as it was 
the case with KDE 3.5. Surprisingly, noone seems to know the answer (or 
doesn’t want to give it).

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
