I have tried "/etc/init.d/cupsys restart" and get the response:
"* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ ok ]" so there it is and I can see it in the "Service management tool".
I have tried to reinstall all CUPS part I can find in "Synaptic package manager".

I have found others i ubuntuforum with similar problem, one of them posted to my thread and told that he got rid of the problem by complet reinstall and then not accepting updates for packages.
I have tried every hint I have found in the forum and by google. Neither gnome or KDE can access CUPS though the CUPS is there and running.
I have an older PC with Breezy 5.10 that works fine, the difference between the two PC-s is some more programs installed on the troublesome one. Which programs that is, you can see in my thread at the forum: http://

I can confirm this bug.
I observed this bug from kubuntu dapper flight 2
and flight 3 both out-of-the-box.
Right after install go to systemsettings,
choose printers and immediately ran into this bug. I checked that the cupsd was running and also that it has a listening socket on port 631 for localhost.
Another thing is that when I (by mistake) tried to use a blank hostname field for the print server the whole systemsettings application hung!
I also tried to start systemsettings as root
but I got the same behaviour.
