Bug Description
Cannot install and print to USB attached HP LJ3030. Error message from cups server:
"Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager. Connection to cups server failed. Check that the cups sewrver is correctly installed and running.Error : host not found"
Restarting and/or reinstalling cupsd did not help.
Systems tried: Kubuntu Dapper 64bit (Flight CD3 with updates from Feb 11)on AMD64. Same result with Daily live CD i386 from Feb11 on both AMD64 and i386 machine. The latter prints ok with Breezy installation on hard drive.

Does your CUPS-server point to /var/run/ cups/cups. sock:631? If so, then this is the same as #29638.
See my workaround there to set CUPS server to localhost:631 in KDE.
