ls | kprinter is my preference. I tried it just now - kprinter said my printer doesn't support plain text and would I like to convert to postscript? I said yes and it printed fine, but each filename on a single line. the ls command on its own doesn't do that in konsole. Also, I didn't see a page preview button in kprinter. That would be a nice feature. I think if I needed to format it, I would use Robert's original method of saving the output to a file.
