That's not piping the output of ls straight to the printer, that's creating formatted postscript for previewing and printing. What I should have said was "If you want any control, either pipe ls into something which produces postscript, or use the printing system, eg ls | kprinter." Actually, ls | lpr is equivalent to ls | enscript, except that you can't choose enscript's options. Admittedly it's not quite the same as ls > /dev/printer (which will also work with virtually any printer).
