[Bug 365977] [NEW] Cannot print to usb printer using Okular

Binary package hint: okular

System: Kubuntu 9.04.  Problem exists under 64bit and 32bit version of
Kubuntu.

Description:  
I have attached my Samsung GLX-2160 via usb to my machines and configured it using The KDE's SystemSetting's PrinterConfiguration.  Printing works from PrinterConfiguration, Kate and Konqueror.  The driver that was automatically selected was Foomatic/foo2pdl.

When I attempt to print from Okular the printer appears correctly in the
list of printer options by when I click on Print in the print dialog box
the box closes but nothing is printed, and no entry gets placed in the
placed in the print queue.

Printing out from Kate or Konqueror after attempting to print from
Okular works immediately.

Other related issues is that Firefox also doesn't print to the printer,
which suggests something lower level than just Okular or Firefox.
Exactly which subsystem is at fault I can't say as I'm not familiar with
the inner workings of printing, here's hoping that others might be able
to spot which package is most appropriate to tag this bug to.

I have now tried this issue out on four machines, two 64bit systems, and
two 32bit systems and the same combination of Kate/Konqueror working and
Okular/Firefox occurs.  An older Kubuntu 8.10 install works fine though,
Okular and Firefox can print out fine so I'm holding back from upgrading
this system to allow me to at least print out pdf documents.
