I am printing from KMail e.g. to the printer (HP 2200 PS printer at network) 
without problems. I am using SuSE 8.0 with KDE 3.0.3. The printing of the PS 
file afterwards using gv (which uses lpr) works fine, too. Curious ... okay, 
so I know a workaround for this printing problem and that is enough for now. 
But thanks for your responses.

I will continue to use umbrello to deepen my UML knowledge (which has been so 
far only theoretical - no practical use so far - pity).
Other tools which I have looked at have been implemented in most cases in Java 
which is too slow for my environment. And kUML does not seem to advance 
further. I don't know whether there is anything in kUML development which can 
be reused in umbrello.
