Suggestion:  There are three options using CUPS, "kprinter," "kprinter 
--stdin" and "qtcups."  For some inexplicable reason, sometimes (it 
varies from release to release), some of these work and others don't, 
but there appears to be no consistency.  However, version 1.1.2rc2 
handles all three correctly.  I suspect a fix will be in 1.1.2.
