Trolltech.
The KDE printing system is KDE's. Unless you modify those applications to
use that printing system, they won't use it.
The fact that you could configure those applications's "lp" command --
i.e., pipe the PostScript to it and let it print -- to be kprinter is
unrelated. Read my email again: it doesn't have to be part of the
printing system. It can be any application that reads PostScript as its
input and shows a print dialog.
One other thing: more "modern" applications no longer let you configure
the lp command.
