Click on the "Properties" button when your printer is selected in kprinter. 

In the dialog that pops up, go to the "Filters" tab (the last -- might be 
hidden by too many tabs in the dialog going out of page). 

In this tab, click on the "Add filter" button (the one with a funnel on it). 
The rest should be mildly complicated, but rather self explaining. It allows 
you to hook the conversion command in the filter.
