Two possibilities:
1. Edit /etc/cups/cups.conf and search for a line containing
"/etc/printcap". Remove the "#" in the beginning of it.
Save the file and restart the CUPS daemon entering
/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart
Now the printers should show up in the KDE dialogs.
--OR--
2. Update your CUPS package to the release 22mdk from the Cooker. There
this change is already done.

We do not have all printer models. The printer database comes from
www.linuxprinting.org
If you have suggestions for making something better, tell it to Grant
Taylor, the owner of this site.
In general, the best drivers are the GIMP-Print drivers. To configure
them easily on your Mandrake/CUPS system update also
GhostScript: 25mdk
CUPS-Drivers: 13mdk
