I would set it up using CUPS as Damien suggested and then KDE should pick up |

the settings without any additional effort on your behalf - i.e. I would think |
| 24 |
that the "server settings" would no longer be disabled (as long as you have |
| 25 |
listen to more than the default 127.0.0.1 in cupsd.conf). |
