"ps2pdf" is just a wrapper around "gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite...". And I guess
that you can assume "gs" *is* available for direct use. Another thing is
that, while implementing the print-to-pdf in kdeprint, I noticed that
ps2pdf is not safe when using filenames with spaces, that's why I used
"gs" directly in the ps2pdf.xml filter description file of kdeprint.

Note finally that kdeprint provides a technology to easily implement
'export' mechanism in applications, look at kdelibs/kdeprint/kprintaction.h
and http://printing.kde.org/developer/tutorial/action.php
Another way could be to use service menus and the "--print" flag of
KOffice applications.
