Good suggestion. I don't use KDE, but I ran pstree (no args -- from
the man page, it looks like that will catch everything, no?). I don't
see anything that looks like the likely culprit, but perhaps someone
else can.

There are a couple of items that may be unfamiliar: 
    cannaserver & skkserv have to do with Japanese text input, and
        are definitely unrelated to printing
    rcvt is "Random Color Virtual Terminal" -- a script I wrote to 
        relieve some of the dullness of Rxvt
    xfs-xtt is a TrueType-enabled XFS (X Font Server)
    gnuserv is an Emacs server thingy, lets you remote-control a
        running Emacs
