For some reason, KDEPrint/kprinter don't get the PPD information
from cupsd when they ask for it.... I assume that is *not* a raw
print queue (which would not have a PPD, and hence not a Driver
Settings tab in the kprinter dialog)?

Can CUPS itself see the PPD properties? (Try it with this command:

  lpoptions -p printername -l

Replace "printername" with the queue you want to see).
