Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for me yet.

bash-4.2$ cat ~/.kde/Autostart/printer-applet.desktop | grep "Hidden"
Hidden=true

But it still starts up when I log out and log back in. Any other 
thoughts? Would I have to remove the desktop file from 
/usr/share/autostart completely?
