[Bug 42965] Can't add a printer in KDE: parser error?

[TuxFan]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: kdeprint

I originally reported this in #35581, but there was many bugs under that
bug id and the "original" got fixed so here goes...

When I try to add a printer (using CUPS as the print system) I get this
message after choosing the right driver (works well on Breezy):

----8<----
Error - KDE Control Module

Unable to load the requested driver:
                                                                                                                                                            Unable to create the Foomatic driver
[HP-LaserJet_1320,Postscript]. Either that driver does
not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation.
----8<-----

I get the same error no matter if I'm in the administrator mode or not.

If I start systemsettings from command line, I can see this:

----8<----
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08178838 ***
Entity: line 2058: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document
  </printer>
                 ^
printer 'HP-LaserJet_1320' not found!
kdeprint: WARNING: PPD syntax error, PPD parse failed
----8<----

All this with the latest dapper versions:
kdeprint 3.5.2-0ubuntu19
kcontrol 3.5.2-0ubuntu19
kde-systemsettings 0.0svn20060502-0ubuntu1
