[Bug 368977] [NEW] KDE4 "forgets" printer status / settings

I will update this bug the next time it happens. If anybody can suggest
debugging information that would be helpful, I'll include it. So far,
this has happened twice, both in very recent versions of KDE 4.2
(Kubuntu 9.04; I was on the RCs).

I have a Laserjet 8150. I try to print (e.g. from Firefox), choose the
printer, and nothing happens. Then I look in the KDE printer applet, and
it says the printer is unavailable, or busy, or...

No combination of restarting the printer, clearing the print job queue,
or restarting the computer seems to work. The only workaround I have is
to go through KDE's printer configuration and remove/install the
printer. After that, it works. My working theory based on this is that
something about the printer config is being screwed up.

Before a week or so ago, I never had this problem, and the printer
worked reliably. So, it's a recent bug.

At what point in the workflow I don't know. More information when I have
it.
