Bug#379216: Error: unable to create printer (test or real printer)

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Package: kdeprint
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: important


I have CUPS 1.2.1-3 installed and have been unable to create a printer 
in KDE for the local printer, either as a local printer or as a remote 
CUPS printer on localhost.

I had looked at:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129707

which lead me to believe that I should be able to create a printer, but 
have had no success, either as a normal user or as an administrator.

Any suggestions on debugging this welcome.
