Printing from Open Office through KPrinter

To print from Open Office through KPrinter, set up a printer in Open Office for it.

Run spadmin as root. On RedHat 8.0 it is at

 /usr/lib/openoffice/spadmin 

Add a new printer of type "Generic Printer". This means simple Postscript output. For the command line specify

 kprinter --stdin 

Name your printer entry "KPrinter" or something recognizable to you.

Now when you print from Open Office, you can select this printer and be able to make use of KDE features such as the prefilters.
