I believe giving the full name of the printer should work, but it is a long
time since I ran KDE3 last time and anyways I never used pseudoprinters from
the command line. So, something like
kprinter -d Print\ to\ file\ \(PDF\)
or even
kprinter -d "Print to file (PDF)"
should work.
Anyways, usually, the things that I suppose you want to do can be accomplished
by using ghostscript directly. Look at
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdeprint/specials.desktop
for examples of ghostscript use.
(of course, internet is your source for further information).
