        Oh Yes, it has been possible since the dawn of time (well almost). In 
the past
you had the ability to use kprinter directly making the kprinter print to pdf
function available in Firefox. The kprinter dialog has always been just the
normal file save as dialog.

        Before FF3, you would simple change the Mozilla print command from:

lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

        to:

kprinter

        And then you would have full kde print capability from within firefox. 
God I
hope openSuSE gets this file "save as" dialog fixed before 11.1 is unleashed.
