OK, I have looked into this a bit further.

As far as I can ascertain this is a kdeprint problem. My reasoning being 
that only kdeprint is affected. I use the machine as a workhorse, and as 
far as I can tell nothing else is misbehaving!

Logging in as a different user, there appears to be no printing problem. 
I therefore assume that this is a problem with the user settings for my 
username.

Starting with ".kde". I moved .kde and restarted my session - no print 
problem.

I then systematically copied back Autostart, Desktop_Entry, Env, Share, 
and Shutdown. I could still print OK.

I did nothing with Cache_hostname, Socket_hostname or Tmp_hostname, as 
these are links to various temporary folders which I did not touch.

After a short time the printing packed up again. So the problem is being 
recreated automatically.

Could this be something to do with MSEC resetting some permissions 
incorrectly? In which case I need to know what kdeprint uses in order to 
look further?

Is there any way to print from KDE programmes such as Kwrite and Kfax 
without using kdeprint?

All the best

No, sorry. The log is not precise enough. My belief that it's a general 
distro/kde/dcop configuration in your machine stands. I doubt it is related 
to KDEPrint in particular. It just so happens that KDEPrint is the most
