Hi,
That looks like a packaging error in your distro, you need the PyQt4, PyKDE,
PyCups, and system-config-printer packages installed for the new Printing KCM
in kdeadmin 4.2 to work. The new Printing KCM (aka system-config-printer-kde)
is a frontend developed by Kubuntu to the system-config-printer printing
configuration backend that is now jointly developed by Red Hat, Ubuntu and
Mandriva and is shipped by most distros and is also used by Gnome. There is
now little reason for us to develop our own management backend when there is a
community and industry consensus on a common backend.
John.
