No, as described above there is a better solution which does NOT involve changes to the server.
But for Kubuntu Dapper you could use the KDE config tools, if you work around the problem described below.

In Kubuntu Dapper you should manually merge the content of /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf and ports.conf into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for the KDE config tools to work.
Strangely enough the Dapper cupsys package 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06 doesn't have this change while this is already fixed in edgy (see below).

cupsys (1.2.2-0ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Merge to Debian unstable:
    - This gets rid of /etc/cups/conf.d/ again and re-merges the separate browsing and ports settings to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf again. Separating was nice for preserving an unchanged conffile for the most important settings, but it broke KDE and the web interface and generated way too many bugs.

After this you should be able to setup your network printer on the client without problems.
If it still doesn't work with the KDE config tools you can always try this command:
$ lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://10.0.0.40/printers/dj3820
You just need to adjust this with the IP address of your print server and your printer name.

Please try the above and let me know if it works.
