Printer started working after 'brutally' reinstalling cups like this:

$ sudo aptitude purge cupsys
$ sudo rm -rf /etc/cups
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop

First I got the printer working. After fiddling with printer settings in KDE 'system settings' (trying to enable network printing from my laptop) it just stopped working again.

I couldn't get the configuration back in shape using either 'system settings' or http://localhost:631, so, another reinstall. Now I did the same reinstall on the laptop, and changed the 'share printers over network' settings IN THE CUPS WEBINTERFACE ONLY (port 631), and it worked.

Is the printer section of KDE 'system settings' up to date? It seems that on my machine, it rendered the CUPS configuration unusable.

Cheers, I'm printing!
