I had a look at the upstream development version that includes the CUPS
support too, and discovered that the 'Add a printer' option is grayed
out on my CUPS system. So that is the problem with my backport - I
didn't add the code to gray that feature out when using CUPS.
So how do you add a queue for a program like kprinter? Choose 'Connect
a PDF converter' instead of 'Add a printer', and enter kprinter as the
command line. I confirmed that this works in the Debian packages too.
I will work on a patch to disable 'Add a printer' when CUPS is enabled.
