- Open control panel -> printers. Now (don't ask why), as a normal user, 
I see list of printers. I ask to print test page and it worked!
- Open OpenOffice and print: it works.
- Open a text file with Konqueror and print: have the mentioned error.
- Open Kpdf and print a pdf file: have the mentioned error
- Open KGhostView and print a pdf file: have the mentioned error
- Open GV and print a pdf file (using Kprinter): it works
- Open control panel -> printers, print test page: it works

Problem seems to lie with Konqueror, Kpdf and KGhostView (others?) when 
they call kprinter.
