Description CoJaBo 2012-06-02 22:48:23 UTC 
1. Add a printer, that has a space in its share name,  by browsing for it in the wizard (in my case, the host was Windows XP)
2. Once completed the path will look like:
smb://WORKGROUP/AZTEC-XP/PostScript20Printer
It should be:
smb://WORKGROUP/AZTEC-XP/PostScript%20Printer
i.e., the % for the encoded space is omitted.
3. Any attempt to print will result in an error untill the path is corrected; the cause of the problem may not be readily evident to the user.

Reproducible: Always




Running Kubuntu "Precice", 64-bit.

I  have same problem on Ubuntu 12.04, KDE 4.9
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2013-11-23 20:34:19 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"system-config-printer-kde" is no longer maintained and has been replaced with "Print Manager" since KDE 4.10.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".
