Please re-configure it so that it starts the CUPS daemon from boot-time.
(KNOPPIX-original needs a separate start of cupsd after login.)

It is soooo cool if you can show a user who just booted his not-printing
Win2K laptop (which he spent 2 days to configure all kinds of stuff) how
KDE-Knoppix is up and running within 3 minutes, and how he can print without
installing a single "driver".  [This is a real-life story, and the only
glitch was that I had to manually start cupsd...]  Having cupsd running also
gets rid of an ugly error message popping up when you start kprinter (or
click on a print button) without cupsd.

I hope your kdelibs are compiled against libcups?

I can foresee a few very successful promo-demos on enterprise level with
this single feature enabled..

Thanks for the work you put in. It is an excellent promo-initiative. (BTW,
KNOPPIX in and of itself was and is already a very good KDE promo -- it
boots into KDE by default. Thanks to Klaus Knopper and his brillian work,
and thanks to everyone supporting him!)
