KDE 4 misrepresents certain printers as to-file printers, rather than physical ones. I have a Canon MP730; the settings for which were autodetected by my system, using a Gutenprint driver. KDE refuses to actually print to it; it will instead produce a PostScript file with a .pdf extension in my home directory. I then have to manually pass the file to lp. KDE 3 uses it correctly, as do all non-KDE applications.
