The problem of "using private API" is temporary hacked by CUPS upstream,

About socket problem, I saw it on my machine once. But I couldn't
reproduce it on the other machine I owned.

In any case, there isn't any good solution from CUPS side.
I reassign this bug to kdeprint.

A patch for CUPS is always welcome if it doesn't break anything and is
acceptable for upstream also.

Thanks,
