Hi, I read about the CUPS 1.2 - KDE incompatibility at
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1527+P0+S-1+C0+I0+E0+QKDE

That bug is for kdelibs 3.5.2; according to your reportbug info you are
on 3.5.3, therefore it is probably not relevant for you.

and also http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129707 which lead me to believe that I could still print from KDE with CUPS 1.2.1-3 simply by creating the printer in KDE.

However, either as a regular user or administrator I have been unable to create a "test" printer or real printer (just reported as Bug#379216).

If I understand you correctly then your main problem is that you are
unable to print at all and trying to create a printer was meant to be a
workaround for that? If so, then this might help:

Yes thanks, removing the line containing /var/run/cups/cups.sock in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and running /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
fixed things.

Arthur.
