--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
A bit complicated. We basically treat this situation as a distro bug; the PPD
package *should* be pre-installed, and is even called out as such in
https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations#3rd-party_packages.
The message in the applet is designed to subtly alert the user that their
distro forgot something, and that they can fix it themselves. We have similar
messages throughout Plasma, most notably in Discover, because Plasma is complex
and it's easy for distros to forget things.
The only time this message does not make sense IMO is on distros that are tied
to hardware that it's known to not support PPD. An example is SteamOS. In that
case, it probbly makes sense to patch out the message.
Other than that case, I fail to see how this isn't a distro bug.

We don't formally support that though. PPD is the thing we support.
What do you think we should do here?
