[Bug 295065] Re: samba printers not detected

[Till Kamppeter]

Kubuntu 8.10 switched from the KDE 3.x generation to the KDE 4.x
generation. Unfortunately, the KDE Printing Manager was unmaintained in
KDE 2.x and 3.x and got therefore dropped in KDE 4.x. This left the
KDE/Qt world without a sophisticated printer setup tool. In the
beginning of this year efforts were started to create a KDE frontend for
system-config-printer, but they did not make much progress. Most of
system-config-printer's sophisticated functionality is not yet ported
into the KDE version.

system-config-printer (the original GTK-based version) has the
functionality you need. So as a first workaround for the time being you
should install this version via

sudo apt-get install system-config-printer-gnome


** Changed in: system-config-printer-kde (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: cupsys => system-config-printer-kde
