kcmshell printer: Copy to / psuedo printer? (print preview)

Hi. We're running a computer lab where various workstations send their
print jobs to a FC6 machine running a CUPS server. CUPS is set to hold
the jobs until they are manually released. We want a way to be able to
preview the jobs before they are printed.
I set up a pseudo-printer that calls kghostview, which works fine if you
print via kprinter. For the jobs coming from other machines, I looked
at using the kcmshell printer module. This is a great program, and
almost does what I want. It's got a "move job" option, but this only
provides options for real printers, not the psuedo-printers. Also, for
this to work we'd need to be able to "copy" instead of "move" the job.
Does anyone know of another way to do this? Alternatively, does anyone
have a sense of how much work would be involved in adding this feature,
or have some pointers about how to go about it?
Thanks in advance!
Ken
