What I meant was use the Postscript/default setting in mozilla but change the print command to kprinter. This pipes the postscript output to kprinter and if your printer is set up with cups you can select it there. I've found that kprinter works so well with cups that it is easier to send the postscript output of programs like mozilla to kprinter than trying to get them to see the printer themselves. Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time either ;) ~Scott
