Actually, I had more trouble than I thought. My printer's acting up; so
much so that it prints better in Linux than in Windows. It's only
printing b/w even though the ink levels are fine for other colors. Once
I get the hardware issues sorted out, I will revisit the software
issues.
Thanks for the tip. KDE print worked out great for some of the tweaking.
