It's starting to look to me like you don't have cups installed or running.
It is supposed to listen on port 631 on localhost for connections from a
browser.
Look for /etc/cups and see if you have the config files.  Also, make sure that
you have cups enabled as a server in the current init level.  It has nothing
to do with KDE.

I'm not sure how the system was installed but if you don't define a printer
on the install, it may not install cups.  I know that the cups drivers
don't get installed until you define a printer.

Give that a check before rebuilding the box.  Besides, I've found that when
you just rebuild a box that's not doing what you want, you lose the
opportunity to learn why it wasn't right.  I relish the learning experience
when something whacks out and I have to figger out what happened.
There are actually very few occasions that require a reinstall of the O/S
in Linux.  In fact, there are very few reasons to actually reboot a Linux
system.

Cheers!
