Missing printer module?

[Brad Alexander]

I just bought a network printer, and while trying to configure it, I opened the System Settings, and when I clicked on Printer Config, I got a message:

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

Possible reasons:

* An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module

* You have old third party modules lying around.

I tried both a dpkg-reconfigure and an apt-get install --reinstall on the system-config-printer-kde, both of which completed without errors.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

CUPS itself? And are you in the lp or lpadmin group?

That looks like my problem. Which begs the question. When can we expect KDE 4.10 (or are they waiting for 4.11) to appear in sid?

The interesting thing is that the printer config (and the printer) still works on my wife's sid machine. The difference is that I have been upgrading mine fairly regularly, and hers has not been upgraded since before the wheezy release.
