I suppose that you are discussing about bug #77847. 

I am sorry but I do not understand why using the command line tool kprinter 
would be relevant. But perhaps it is a misunderstanding that the main 
kdeprint class has the same name (KPrinter.)

The problem is that code cannot set a special printer for the class KPrinter. 
That is also what you seem to have found by the way of the command line tool 
kprinter.

So probably it remains to check how to use the "external program" feature of 
KPrinter. However instead of using ps2pdf, I would prefer using GhostScript 
directly (what kdeprint does too.)

Have a nice day!
