Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2012-12-18 12:48:38 UTC 
the new printer dialog does not allow you to procede with a cups-pdf url, even if it was autodetected by itself.
The autodetected cups-pdf url is: cups-pdf:/://
the CUPS web interface suggests "cups-pdf:/" but this is not accepted either.
Thus the bug seems twofold:
-autodetected url is wrong
-url is not accepted as valid and user is not allowed to proceed.

Reproducible: Always

cups-pdf can't proceed

yep, still an issue in KDE 4.10.1 in Arch Linux x64. The url "cups-pdf:/" is detected correctly but the dialog still doesn't allow me to proceed.
Comment 4 Pascal d'Hermilly 2013-11-24 18:51:05 UTC 
This is still a problem in 4.11.2
Can't we just give the user a warning that the URL looks wrong - forcing filters always seem to cause trouble.
