I've only set up one KDE3.1-on-Woody system so far (using vanilla
Woody and Ralf's Ktown debs), and I too find that
Kcontrol->Peripherals->Printers gives me a dialog box with no obvious
way of starting the Add Printer dialog. By experimenting I discovered
that a right-click in the upper pane gives a menu from which Add
Printer can be selected (and also a way of switching on the toolbar to
get an Add Printer button).
I've never tried KDE 3.0.x so I don't know what that did.

I also confirm that, for all printer types, the Scan button does *not*
show a progress bar while scanning - the pane stays blank for a while
and then suddenly the list of found printers appears.
Again I don't know what happened in KDE 3.0.x.
