Forsake the wizard for ports/print/apsfilter and lpd

KDE works perfectly for me, but I had 2 KDE related printing problems...

First: many programs default to A4 paper size, and
Second: in konqueror the default "print to UNIX LPD Print System"
  option was using some strange set of options, that would not work.
  I changed the setting to "Print Through an External Program" and
  just set it to lpr and it works fine.
