There is a *huge* difference in functionality apart of the better KDE integration. And there is a even bigger difference in usability (where are the printers in Firefox?).
Of course, eventually GTK/Gnome (firefox 3 is much better here as far as I know) will catch-up with most of the basic functionality of Kprinter, so we can just wait...
Richard,
You haven't noticed any differences? I am having a hard time believing this. Perhaps you didn't actually apply the change in the correct way.
