Yes, it helped a bit further. I've changed the CUPS config as the
workaround explained; now on Ctrl-P the printer selection box shows up
and I can start the printing; a small information widget about the
printing progress comes up and then a nearly empty window (contains no
message, only an OK button) and a msg on stderr as 'error message null'
(which fits with the absense of any message in the box).

Any idea?
