Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdeprint
I am trying to add a printer that is connected to a network print server. The print server implements LPD queues, so that's the backend I want to use.
Here is the procedure I use:
* start kcontrol
* select "Printers"
* select "Administrator Mode" and enter password
* select: Add -> Add Printer/Class ...
* "Add Printer Wizard" starts up
* on the "Backend Selection" screen, the "Remote LPD Queue" choice is ghosted out and I cannot select it

The problem is that /usr/lib/ cups/backend/ lpd was installed mode 600. This was a full install of Feisty Herd 5.
When I changed the permissions to 755 the problem was fixed.
