First, this has absolutely nothing to do with KDE at all.
Check that all necessary modules are loaded ("lsmod"). Compare the kernel
messages ("dmesg"). Install the hotplug daemon ("apt-get install hotplug
usbutils").
Additionally, it may be necessary to restart cups when you added the printer to
the system ("/etc/init.d/cupsys restart").
