I've tried that and unfortunately it doesn't work. When I select
"postscript printer" I get an error stating "Unable to find the Postscript
driver". I have ESP Ghostscript 7 installed - my question for the KDE
crowd was how do I get the kde-printer setup rig to see the driver. No
luck so far, the kde-print mailing list is pretty quiet.
