FAQ:

How to print from applications (eg. netscape) in KDE?

Answer:

Well, that's pretty easy. Just use the command kprinter where you used lpr before:

prompt$ kprinter <file>

A dialog window pops up to specify the printer queue (default f232_hp2) plus lots of extra features like:

• print preview
• page layout (two sheets on one landscaped page)
• posterizing big files (see CreatingLargeFormatPostscript)
• user definable filters
• ...

So, for example, you might configure gv to print thru kprinter instead lpr by default in the gv setup menu.
