That's how you broke things in the first place.
If cups service is started (and didn't quit), you should be able to
use...
Administration => Printing
and set up your printer now
make sure it can print a test page from that configuration tool before
you try printing with any other program

I don't have an 'Administration => Printing' in KDE,I'm into
'localhost:631'

Getting access to localhost:631 has nothing to do with having
system-config-printer install led. There is something wrong with you
repos in that you can't install system-config-printer.
Is there a localhost defined in your /etc/hosts file and is cupsd
running is what is essential. Previously you did not have cupsd running.
ps aux |grep cupsd. Does it show cupsd running. We are discussing two
different ways to install printers as if they are the same. They are
not.

you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?
