  Checking the cups error log, I saw:
  E [22/Jul/2009:08:03:39 -0700] Syntax error on line 11 of printers.conf.
  
  Printing from Okular, Evince and Firefox all silently fail. IE, it looks
  like it worked, but nothing shows in the CUPS queue, no output is seen
  from the printer.
  
  I looked in /etc/cups/printers.conf...
  
  # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.3.9

  Many folks report problems printing to network printers after adding
  them, and the above change fixed the issue for me.
  
  I don't know if the issue IS with cups, or if the KDE4 tool directly
  edits this file.

+ run kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
+ edit an option of your printer
+ click apply or OK
+ run sudo stop cups
+ check /etc/cups/printers.conf, JobSheet should have no arguments, this is the result of this bug
+ 
+ run sudo start cups
+ install the new package
+ run kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
+ edit an option of your printer
+ click apply or OK
+ run sudo stop cups
+ check /etc/cups/printers.conf, JobSheet should have arguments "none none" (or whatever you set it to)
