Bug Description

When installing another printing method, like lpr or lprng, kubuntu-desktop is removed because it depends on cups.
(Exchanging cups for lprng is a workaround for bug #768111)
While cups is probably the most popular choice to install by default, other systems should be possible without breaking kubuntu-desktop.
