Not really, because I don't use kde normally.

print.print_command  does not exist.

print.postscript.print_command = lpr 
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}

print.printer_PostScript/default.print_command = lpr 
${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}


So that is correct. Then, I have:

print.print_printer = CUPS/tofile

which is the printer I want to have, but still when I try to print mozilla 
(I mean, firefox) pops the print dialog with the previous printer 
selected, and the one I want half way down the list.

I did that once, yes, but the choice in the dialog does not stick. And 
that "PostScript/default" does not print to my system default printer as 
defined in cups (it prints to tp0).


I could hack those to the name I want, but I don't like that. I will 
forget the default string when I want to put it back and will have to ask 
here again O:-)

Ah, yes... I have them at the default .14 inches. Should change that, 
probably.
