Greetings all. I am running FC13 KDE on an Asus EeePC 1005HA. I have performed all updates available. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

When launching the Printer Configuration I get the following error:

The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'system-config-printer-kde/system-config-printer-kde.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reasons:
-An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
-You have old third party modules lying around.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.

disable 3rd party repos then

First remove the duplicate packages

su -
package-cleanup --dupes
If you get some then
package-cleanup --cleandupes

Second check for orphans

su -
package-cleanup --orphans
Do you what to remove the orphans? y

reboot
try the printer setup.

Gired, may I ask you what language you have set in KDE?

I found out if it is set to Polish Printer KCM fails, but it works just fine when KDE language is english.
Corresponding bugreport is located here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542358

Oh BTW I use system-config-printer (Gnome version) to set my printer up. I found out I can't add new prnter with kde tools.
