KDE 3.1 - Poster Printing

[Till Kamppeter]

In both GIMP and OpenOffice.org/Star Office you can enter a printing 
command, which is "lp" or "lpr" by default. You can either add a "poster 
printer" with "poster <options> | lpr" as printing command, or, when you 
have KDE 3.1, use "kprinter" as the printing command. In the latter case 
  the "kprinter" dialog will pop up when you click "OK" in the printing 
dialog of the application and then you can configure your poster on the 
"Poster" tab in the "Properties" dialog.

For Star Office an OpenOffice.org use the "spadmin" tool as root to 
configure the printers. See also and for GIMP use the "Printer Setup" 
button in the printing dialog.
