I just ran into this same problem a few days ago.  

After a few minutes of confusion, I realized that you can RIGHT-click on
the region with the fax/print to pdf/etc icons, and only then do you get
the option of setting up the printer---what a useability gaffe!

This change seems to have occured between KDE 3.2 and KDE 3.3.
