I need to find out what they did to kprinter, or if there is a good alternative. I used to have a very simple script that I used to d booklet printing.

#!/bin/bash
Date=`date +%s`
psbook $1 > deleteme$Date.ps
kprinter deleteme$Date.ps

 

unfortunately, kde4 apparently dropped kprinter, (which I'd configured to print 2-up full duplex).

I've tried just using 'lp', but it doesn't seem to work correctly. :-(

Try installing system-config-printer. Sure, it’s a gnome app, but it ought to at least work.
