In OOo there is a special binary called "spadmin" that lets you set up
the printing system. Maybe that helps you already -- otherwise keep a
little bit of patience.

It's on my todo anyway to write a few blog entries about kprinter. One
of them was how to use it with Firefox and Thunderbird, the other one
is OOo.

Visit http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/418 after next weekend. (I can't
do it now, because I'm away from home, and have not enough time).
