Here, the K menu item "Manage Printing" opens a CUPS web page, specifically localhost:631. It's a bog-standard CUPS interface, with no need of KDE complications. There's no printer entry in system settings. I often print a spreadsheet from LibreOffice without problems. So yes, other things being equal, you will. In any case, why not try it and see? You can revert easily enough if you hit a problem. -- Regards Peter
