 WEll, I am getting absolutely no help in this forum.  However, I did figure
 out a work around that allows me to get prints from kde apps until such
 time as the system stabilizes and things work as they should.

 I can pick the printer print to PS file which then does not call the
 kdeprintd and simply creates a postscript file selectively on my harddrive.
 Then, using the debian package qtcups, I can print to a cups printer that
 was set up inside of kde.  Go figure it !

I can't help you, since I could never get my postscript printer to work with 
KDE either, when I tried. Later I read that QT (and thus KDE) is emitting 
illegal postscript, so it won't work at all. I don't know if that is fixed 
now.

I put my postscript printer in HP laser jet emulation, and is printing with 
the LPD printer system (lpr-ppd). That finally worked for me. I found that 
the easiest to get to work. With CUPS I could never get any output, and 
anyway, it does not have my printer model.
