Helpful Debian Tutorials
I’ve found this excellent tutorial on setting up printers in Debian too late. However it has helped me with the final piece of the puzzle and I now have printing working in firefox under KDE after following the advice to replace:
lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME}
with
kprinter --stdin
in the firefox printer properties.
The site debiantutorials has plenty of Debian tutorials, designed to be easy enough for someone migrating from windows. They’re a great timesaver if you’re looking for how to do something not officially supported by debian such as playing encrypted dvds and other codecs such as wmv or installing the nvidia 3D drivers.

Found a pretty useful Debian reference card today and thought I would share it with you.

Hello —
MadCarter’s has morphed/moved. The site is now debiantutorials.org and can be found at that address.
–Thanks
PS. With Firefox 1.5 the printing workaround that I wrote about on my site is no longer necessary.
