KDE printer setup query

[kubuntu]

Hi all,

I tryied to add my printer to kubuntu, I went via control centre, printers, 
add ..

local printer > USB printer #1 > epson stylus C46 (my exact model :))

And I got the error ...

Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver [Epson-Stylus_C46,gimp-print]. Either 
that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to 
perform that operation.

OK question, is there a package of printer drivers that i need to load, I know 
its not a permission issue as I have added printers before with no probs.

Seems strange it gives me the option for my printer then breaks. I doubt its a 
bug but I suspect its a required driver package.

Any ideas

Dave
