Regarding comment #2:
Currently we provide Gutenprint version 5.0.2
which is a bit outdated - the current stable
release is Gutenprint version 5.2.3, see
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
It seems this driver in Gutenprint version 5.0.2 is broken.
If I remember correctly there were several issues
on the gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net list
regarding those printers.
Can you tell me which version of the Gutenprint driver
Kubuntu provides?
Regarding comment #5:
When you remove a driver package but an existing print queue
uses the driver, the queue can no longer work, see the
help text in YaST for the "Add Driver" dialog:
---------------------------------------------------------------
When a printer driver package is marked, it is installed
and then you can un-select it so that it will be removed.
In the latter case it is up to you to make sure
that there is no printer configuration which needs the driver.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I will not automatically remove the whole print queue
only because its driver was removed because you should be able
to specify another driver for the queue after the removal.
Printer drivers have nothing to do with whatever
desktop system (KDE3/4, Gnome, whatever).
