Due to a mistake in KDE's code, KDE is not able anymore to connect with the CUPS server (and printing is completely broken). This has been fixed upstream after the 3.5.5 release (commit 594190 in KDE SVN). This was the patch in question: --- branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/kmcupsmanager.cpp #594189:594190 @@ -920,7 +920,7 @@ kdDebug(500) << "Checking for update possible" << endl; delete m_socket; m_socket = new KNetwork::KBufferedSocket; - m_socket->setTimeout( 1 ); + m_socket->setTimeout( 1500 ); Could this patch be included with the kdelibs ebuild?
