I should have added that this is complicated by the fact that printing is done 
on a remote server.  I tried setting it up this way on the server, but using 
the kde print setup I could not see how to make it samba-shareable.  I tried 
Fedora's system-config-printer, but that creates a printer with a driver 
matched to the hardware, and there is no way that I can see of making that 
accept a pseudo-printer.

I have long used this method for Mozilla, Firefox etc. simply replacing the 
moz printer command with 'kprinter'.  It works well.  I wish I could see how 
it can be made to work with OOo.
