I find kprinter apps print slower than printing directly to cups via lpr.  My 
suggestion would depend on how much the user needs to print to other than the 
default printer.  If there is a frequent need, follow JJL's instructions to 
set up ff to use kprinter.  If not, I print to a ps file using ff's dialog, 
then from a command line,

ps2pdf <input_filename>.ps <output_filename>.pdf

Like I said, depends on how often you need to do it.
