Can't install printer drivers from CD through KDE printer manager

Bug Description

I have a Xerox Phaser connected to a Linksys wireless print server. To connect
to this setup, I use the "remote lpd queue" option in KPrintManager. Drivers
for this printer are not included in the standard distribution, so I downloaded
them from the internet and burned them to a CD.

From the list of printer drivers, I choose "other", browse to the CD and select
the proper PPD file. When I continue through the rest of the dialogue
everything looks good until the end where I receive the error message
"client-error-not-found." The printer appears in the list of printers but the
test page fails.

If I copy the driver from the CD to my desktop, I can install it without trouble.
