If you only find the KDE special printers -- which save jobs to disk (as PostScript - or PDF- files), or deliver jobs via email (as a PDF attachment) -- but are missing a real printer, you need to...... either create a local printer with the help of the KDE Add Printer Wizard which is available for the CUPS and RLPR printing systems (click button to the left of the 'Properties' button),... or you can try to connect to a remote CUPS print server by clicking the System Options... button below. A new dialog opens: click on the CUPS server icon and fill in the information required to use the remote server.

You can connect by clicking the'System Options' button below. A new dialog opens: click on the'CUPS server 'icon: Fill in the information required to use the remote server.

The print system switch can be made through a selection in the drop-down menu at bottom of this dialog when fully expanded).
