My situation basically matches Tyler (though I am on Jaunty, and have never installed Karmic). I used update-manager to upgrade from Hardy first to Intrepid, then to Jaunty. I get the terminal output:

systemsettings(6311) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Selected item: "Printer Configuration"
systemsettings(6311) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Comment: "Configure local and remote Printers"
systemsettings(6311) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Needs root privs: false
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/system-config-printer-kde/kcm-scpk.py", line 41, in <module>
    from PyQt4.QtCore import *
ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtCore

and the window displays:

The service "Printer Configuration" does not provide an interface "KCModule" with keyword "system-config-printer-kde/kcm-scpk.py"The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reasons:

*An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
*You have old third-party modules lying around.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.

I have tried apt-get reinstalling multiple packages, including:

system-config-printer-common
kdeadmin
python-qt4-dbus
system-config-printer-kde
