As far as I could see on the web, evince is a multi-purpose viewer (PS, PDF, DVI...). IMO, it should be able to detect the file type correctly, whatever the filename (except if the filename uses a well-known extension, but it's not the case here). I don't want to start a flamewar, but I'm tempted to say that in this specific case, it's evince's fault.

The only thing do-able at kdeprint-level is to use temporary filenames ending with ".ps". However, this would assume that kdeprint *always* generate PS, which is not automatically the case (if you use filters, for instance). I doubt this would ever be implemented in kdeprint.

Maybe you should report the problem to evince's developers.

Michael.
