Before one of the newer cups-1.3.10 and/or cups-1.3.10-r1 updates there was a KDE kprinter "Driver Settings" tab where i could make per job settings. Now it's gone and i can only set them via CUPS web interface. Applies to local usb and network printers. Rebuilding kdelibs-3.5.9-r4 and kdeprint-3.5.9 didn't helped. I've also tried out the suggestions in #196967 and #266678 with no luck. Going back to net-print/cups-1.3.9-r1 brings back the "Driver Settings" tab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to net-print/cups-1.3.10-r1 2. Try to print something with local printer and make per job Settings in KDE kprinter "Driver Settings" tab. Actual Results: The KDE kprinter "Driver Settings" tab was gone. Expected Results: The KDE kprinter "Driver Settings" tab should still be here.
I'm afraid I don't have a 3.5.9 environment to test with, but it works just fine on 3.5.10 here. Anyhow, could you please verify that your kprinter "systemsettings" - "configuration for cups-server" reads host: /var/run/cups/cups.sock ? If this is already the case, then raise the loglevel in cupsd.conf to debug and attach the output (/var/log/cups/error_log) after running "kprinter" and clicking on the printer settings.
Thank you! Changing "systemsettings" - "configuration for cups-server" from localhost to /var/run/cups/cups.sock made the trick. Perhaps you should change the ebuild of CUPS so that users are informed in the future about this?
Just to confirm that I had the very same problem and the solution proposed by Timo Gurr http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268782#c1 works for me as well. Thanks!

Closing. KDE 3.5 is masked for removal.
