The utilities have a "Print Job Administration" and I defined dj1120 from my printcap file as my KDE printer. I open a file and told the advanced editor to print to my W2K server. Since the printcap file for opal, which has a dj970 on it, is almost identical, I would expect it to print there just fine too.
