I think it will automatically bring it up when you try to perform a print job, or at least be available in the kprinter dialog.

ok. you have to select CUPS in the "Print System Currently Use" combo box. I have another question, it ask me of a valid port. I dont see any port under "Parallel" goup. What should i do?
