[K12OSN] OT: multiple printers in mozilla

This follows my recent thread (in which there were no takers, sad day...)
about default printers as well.

You can click "properties" (or details, I don't remember what exactly it
is) and you'll see the actual lpr command it uses.  if you change that to
something like "kprinter" it will bring up the kprinter dialog, where you
can select the printer of your choice.

By default, mozilla just prints to the default system printer (and I can't
get that to obey the PRINTER= environment variable either...)

I'm very interested in this thread as well, so if you get offlist replies,
please send them my way.

-SHawn
