"kdelibs/kdeprint/ext/" on CVS.
Actually this is a new plugin I developed. It allows to print using a external
print program. It works like the way netscape does printing. The print dialog
contains an edit line where you can specifiy the command you want to use 
(with the options you want). You can also control the number of copies as well
as PS options (page size, color, orientation).

Of course you can't control the printer (like in CUPS), nor have a printer list,
but this is a very flexible plugin that can be used in many situations where other
more specialized plugins can't be used.

Bye.
Michael.
