Bug Description

Opening kprinter or trying to print from any application results in the error message 'An error occurred while retrieving the printer list; Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly installed and running. Error: localhost read failed (15)'.

Printing from Gnome applications and Openoffice is unaffected.

me too.
i use a hp 2420dn on a network and kprinter doesn't see it after upgrading to kde3.5.5 even if it is configured in cups (i can see it and configure it using the standard web interface http://localhost:631).
this error will show even if i restart the cups daemon

Ok, just noticed that changing the cups server from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the print configuration dialog of kprinter fixes the problem (system options => cups server => host). No more connection errors and the printers are visible.
