This bug also happens in KDE SC 4.4 in Archlinux.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2013-11-23 20:33:23 UTC
"system-config-printer-kde" is no longer maintained and has been replaced with "Print Manager" since KDE 4.10. The new version is a C++ rewrite of the old Python version, and may still lack some features or have some bugs.

If this or another issue still needs to be addressed in KDE 4.10 or newer, please add a comment, or report it for "Print Manager".
