Hi Kaspar, I'd suggest you something similar to what Volker was looking for.
I attach a shell script that should do the trick. Unfortunately I can't make 
it work as cups complains that no printer has been selected. Maybe somebody 
else can tell us why this doesn't work.

Another problem is how you know a page has been fully loaded. You can look 
with dcop to see if there is any way to ask konqueror.

Hope that helps!
