I have both, CUPS 1.1.14 + 1.1.15 tried. I have different KDE users on my
system: kdehead is using a complete KDE_HEAD environment, kde4 is using
KDE_3_3_BRANCH, kurt is using KDE-3.0.1 (as released by SuSE).

   CUPS is running, you can access printers via Web interface.
   kprinter for user kurt works
   kprinter for users kde4 and kdehead shows the behaviour as described...
