All,

Of the various solutions proposed, I vote the below from Kai the cleanest.

By using the

      print.printer_PostScript/Default.print_command   kprinter --stdin
      print.always_print_silent                        true

variables, it causes kprinter to be displayed as the first print
dialog box each time.

So after you set it up, you have a very clean integration of firefox
printing with KDE.

Thanks
greg
