To disable the wallet you simply need to open the kwallet configuration 
dialogue and un-check the "Enable KDE Wallet Subsystem" option.
1. Right-click the wallet icon in the system tray
2. Select "Configure Wallet..."
3. Select the "Wallet Preferences" tab.
4. Un-check the "Enable KDE Wallet...." option in the top-left.

Done.

To keep using the wallet but wipe all the data and start from scratch
1. close the wallet (Right-click the wallet icon again, select "Quit").
2. Open a command prompt and type:
   rm -i ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/*.kwl
3. Restart kwallet.

This process will delete all existing password stores (wallets - .kwl files) 
and you should be able to start again.

Idle printers shouldn't be a problem, offline ones though are.  If a printer 
isn't processing or spooling it *should* be idle.  Maybe I misunderstand the 
problem?

HTH,
