.TH KPRINTER 1 "June 2006" "Trinity Desktop Environment" "A printer tool for TDE"
.SH NAME
kprinter
\- a printer tool for TDE
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBkprinter\fP [Qt\-options] [TDE\-options] [options] file(s) 
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBKPrinter\fP opens automatically when you click on the "Print" icon of any TDE application. Choose your print job settings by going through the dialog and then click on the "Print" button.
.sp 1
\fBkprinter\fP is a very versatile tool. Depending on the actual features and power of the print subsystem of your computer, \fBkprinter\fP translates the former's abilities into a nice and easy\-to\-understand GUI. If your print subsystem does not support duplexing, \fBkprinter\fP will not show the option. If your print subsystem is CUPS, kprinter is at its peak shape.
