Hi Burkhard, 
My testing was done on a fresh kubuntu 13.10 install - I suspect I may not have
been completely accurate when describing my steps to reproduce - after
receiving your reply, I tried a reboot of the vm and upon restart the printer
appeared in the list.

I suspect I did the following:
1. Fresh install of kubuntu 13.10
2. started konsole, checked the print screen feature existed, left the konsole
window open
3. Added a printer via the kde print dialog
4. Re-focussed the konsole window and hit PrintScreen again, and the printer
was not in the list

Another step of testing I did was backporting the patch to konsole v2.9.5 on
Ubuntu 12.10 (our current default build) and had the same issue after a fresh
(livecd) boot. Diving deeper into this (after your reply), and it turns out if
I start konsole immediately as the DE starts (i'm using ramdisk booted images,
so it's fast), the printer list is unpopulated. If I close konsole and reopen
it, the list is fully populated.

So this narrows the issue down a bit, and a more accurate description might be:
"The Print Screen dialog does not refresh the printer list after konsole has
started"
or
"konsole must be restarted to show any new printers in the Print Screen dialog"
