Yep, I got you right, don't worry :-)

No, there's no big difference here. I just tried it. Viewing the .ps 
file in KGhostView, some pages just stayed blank, others show only in 
parts, some appear normally.

The pdf-way seems to be the best, and Kpdf does what it's supposed to 
do. So the only thing I've got to solve is the gray-value issue in the 
printer driver.

But thanks anyway!
