I believe giving the full name of the printer should work, but it is a long=
=20
time since I ran KDE3 last time and anyways I never used pseudoprinters fro=
m=20
the command line. So, something like

kprinter -d Print\ to\ file\ \(PDF\)

or even

kprinter -d "Print to file (PDF)"

should work.

Anyways, usually, the things that I suppose you want to do can be accomplis=
hed=20
by using ghostscript directly. Look at=20

$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdeprint/specials.desktop

for examples of ghostscript use.

(of course, internet is your source for further information).
