printer-applet is a system tray utility.  It shows current print jobs,
shows printer warnings and errors and shows when printers that have
been plugged in for the first time are being auto-configured by
hal-cups-utils.

It replaces kjobviewer in KDE 3.

It is a KDE port of system-config-printer by Tim Waugh from Red Hat.

Dependencies are...

PyQt4: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/

PyKDE4: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde/ or kdebindings

python-cups:  http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/pycups/

hal-cups-utils:  svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/hal-cups-utils/trunk/

hal-cups-utils needs the common parts of system-config-printer (cupshelpers.py, ppds.py, probe_printer.py):
svn co http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/system-config-printer/trunk

hal-cups-utils and system-config-printer like to install to
/usr/share/system-config-printer, if you put it elsewhere change the
SYSTEM_CONFIG_PRINTER_DIR variable in printer-applet.py


Unfortunately it does not currently use PyKDE4 because KApplication loads QtDbus which freezes when we use python-dbus.
