On Gentoo OOo comes with a printer setup tool called 'oopadmin'. It allows
e.g. to switch the command from the 'Generic Printer' from 'lpr'
to 'kprinter'.
This can also be done in Kubuntu by editing '/etc/openoffic
Just add 'kprinter' to line 83
before:
83: Command=
after:
83: Command=kprinter
It isn't the 100% integration but it makes OOo work with 'kprinter' instead
of ''. ;-)
