It happened to me, on an Ubuntu machine.
If I well remember, I deleted the file /etc/printcap which was /not/ 
containing right informations about the installed printers. There was 
cups installed but, after an analysis, I discovered that QT searched in 
printcap instead of the right place. By deleting the file, QT started to 
search in the right place.

I don't have that machine at hands right now, so I only go by memory; 
you can carefully make some test. I used strace to see what gambas/QT 
was doing: if you want you can do the same. Please take this words 
seriously - really I am not sure.
