I rarely every print anything these days, but I have printed through KDE in the past from Firefox. The terse note I made about it at the time was: kprinter --stdin presumably you could just put this in Opera as the print command. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

David Can't you setup KDE / your apps to print straight out to a printer using lpr? That's what I have done, sort of. I'm filtering through ghostscript to a remote queue on a windows box. I just tried it out most of the non-KDE apps I have that send output to the printer, and in most cases that works fine. Usually the only non KDE app I print from is AbiWord, and for some reason that crashes when I try to print to anything but a postscript or pdf file. But the problem seems to be confined to that one program.
