Forgot to mention the KDE printing subsystem.

When you combine:

1. Postscript Printer (along with it's ASCII PPD driver file)
2. CUPS (install printer using PPD, for example:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p phaser860 -E -P /etc/tk860dp1.ppd -v http://phaser860.gurulabs.com:80/ipp/
3. KDE printing subsystem told to use CUPs

Then end result is that for each print job you make, you can tweak all
possible printer settings (just like Windows printing).

See this screenshot:

To get Mozilla to use kprinter automatically, run:

perl -e 's/lpr/kprinter --stdin/g' -pi  /usr/lib/mozilla*/defaults/pref/unix.js
