I have. It looks nice and makes the impression KDE can use lprng.

I lost my patience and installed lprng. You can't imagine how rough that 
could be.

I am on a Gentoo machine. In the installation configuration cups is 
mandatory. I had to remove it and then reinstall many packages that used it.

Eventually when I print a test page I get errors:

/usr/bin/lpr -P 'Epson' '-#1' 
'/usr/kde/3.3/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' : execution failed with 
message:
Status Information, attempt 1 of 3: sending job 'root at harellaptop+313' 
to Epson at localhost connecting to 'localhost', attempt 1 connected to 
'localhost' requesting printer Epson at localhost job 
'root at harellaptop+313' transfer to Epson at localhost failed error 'NONZERO 
RFC1179 ERROR CODE FROM SERVER' with ack 'ACK_FAIL' sending str 
'^BEpson' to Epson at localhost error msg: 'spool queue for 'epson' does 
not exist on server harellaptop' error msg: 'check for correct printer 
name or you may need to run' error msg: ''checkpc -f' to create queue'


The funny thing is that the printer is defined as samba and if you look 
at the properties you see in the interface a uri definition:


uri:  smb://smbusr:smbmnt@HAREL/ITAY/Epson_Stylus

            User          domain     printer

                  Passwod      computer

where is the printcap anyway with such definitions?
