I have now released version 2.0b6 of cpdb-libs, with a lot of bug fixes,
especially of crashers, and with some changes which needed to apply to ease
sandboxed packaging (Snap, OCI containers, ...) of the backends.
This changes caused slight changes in the API, which could also cause slight
changes to be needed in the print dialog code, mainly a different function has
to be called to send off a print job.
I highly recommend to only work with this version and to update if an older
version is installed.
The announcement is here:
https://openprinting.github.io/Common-Print-Dialog-Backends-Second-Generation-Sixth-Beta-Release/
See especially also the "API changes" section.
Gaurav (Guleria), please updated to this cpdb-libs version, test the Qt dialog,
and do the needed changes on it for sending off the print jobs streaming and
with a job title. If you have any code to explicitly support the CPDB FILE
backend, for example for the user to choose the file to print into, you should
remove it.
Further API changes will most probably not happen any more.
Once the patches being updated by Gaurav Guleria I will also look through them
to see whether everything is done correctly. Especially with 2.0b6 it is easier
to test everything as it has many bug fixes since 2.0b5 of 10 months ago.

Hi all,
The support for Common Print Dialog Backends has been in the works for a while.
As of last year we are provisioning the SDK in our CI nodes:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qt5/+/471258
but the change on Qt is stuck a bit. Could someone with experience and
knowledge about the state of CPDB help with reviewing those patches, please?
Open changes are in the chain at
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/437301/17
(need to be rebased and the SDK might need to be bumped to latest version
v2.0b5).
Thanks,
Volker
