Cracked it! I decided to have a rummage through all the gnome-print files I could find in the hopes that somewhere I would find a command - lpr, which I could then change to gtklp. Well, blow me down if I didn't find it in /usr/share/gnome-print in a file called profiles. There were three profiles - Postscript Optimized, FaxG3 and PDF. These are the three options in my printing dialog. Sure enough, in Postscript Optimised was the line: output=command,lpr! I changed it to gtklp and now all my print boxes in all my applications come up with gtklp. Thanks for the gnome-print clue. I'll copy this to the list in case anyone else wants it.
