KDEMOD cannot start printer settings dialogue

Hi. I'm running up-to-date KDEMOD 4 and the system-config-printer-kde dialogue wont start it gives the following error when run from the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/system-config-printer-kde", line 68, in <module>
    import cupshelpers  #, options
ImportError: No module named cupshelpers

I also have this problen with vanila KDE.

I'm clueless thanks in advance.

Re: KDEMOD cannot start printer settings dialogue

I reported http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14550 but It won't work anyway, because system-config-printer-kde uses some old features removed from the current one.
I suggest downgrading system-config-printer to 1.1.3-1 (it worked for me)

I built the package for you : http://dl.free.fr/u6Yv2rQAA
Just run pacman -U system-config-printer-1.1.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz in the right directory.
