I noticed the new problem for the first time when kdelibs was updated
to version 3.5.5 (while still using kdeprint version 3.5.4). When I
realized that the problem persisted after kdeprint was updated as well,
I found this somewhat ominous passage in the changelog of kdelibs:
* Drop the CUPS 1.2 patches that no longer apply, as more or less working
support was merged upstream. Salvage a few changes to prevent errors
from popping up when the user has no printers defined. Please report
obvious regressions.
I did not file a bug report because the cupsd.conf file from the current
cupsys package (1.2.4-2+b1) works with the new KDE packages. Maybe we
should indeed file a wishlist bug for a short notice in the NEWS
section; after all, a number of people might have changed cupsd.conf to
work around the old bug.
