I am sure I am using the kwrite of Mandrake 7.0, since 5.3 and 7.0 put KDE in
different places.

[phma@neofelis vhdl]$ which kwrite
/usr/bin/kwrite
[phma@neofelis vhdl]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/kwrite
kdeutils-1.1.2-7mdk

/etc/printcap on neofelis (the 7.0 laptop) is set up with no printfilter, so it
passes PS to littlecat, which then turns it into Canon code.

I viewed the attached file with the local ghostview, to see if that makes any
difference (GS 5.10 vs. 4.03). It doesn't.

kfm does too, when printing web pages. It's a Canon BJC-6000, using the bjc600
driver.
