System Settings > Printer Configuration fails when not using cups

[Alvin]

Binary package hint: kdeadmin

When using lpr(ng), instead of cups, printer configuration can no longer be done in System Settings.

The Service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reaseons:
  * an error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
  * You have old third party modules lying around.

Regardless of the unavailable module, lpr (/etc/princap) can be used by KDE software.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.
