Why should _anyone_ need GTK3 to make KDE apps work? Do I actually need kde4-printer-applet, or is YaST2 sufficient for installing and controlling unshared ethernet printers? Don't other distros that don't have YaST2 make KDE work without GTK?
The Applet itself does not require GTK3. However the applet is nothing more than a frontend for printer administration. The real work is done by system- config-printer and this is unfortunately not a KDE package and it is based on GTK3. There was an attempt to create an KDE application that would directly communicate with CUPS for printer/job administration, however AFAIK this was never released nor 100% completed.
