Have you already tried how GNOMEy system-config-printer and hal-cups- utils are? Do a fresh Kubuntu standard CD installation and "sudo apt-get install hal-cups-utils system-config-printer". Which packages and how many MB get pulled in by dependencies. If the amount is low, these are only GTK and not GNOME apps and they could go into Kubuntu, especially when removing the KDE Printing Manager.
