[Fwd: [Cooker] qtcups Bugs]
This is a problem how the author programmed the interface. I will forward it to the author o QTCUPS. From the beginning I'm aware of that problem. QTCUPS should use layouts for its dialogs. However I designed first the dialogs in KDevelop which doesn't use layouts, and using layouts in qt-1 is really a mess. Now they are really easier to use in qt-2.2 (I use them for KUPS) and QTCUPS should be redesigned with layouts. The problem is that it takes time and I don't have it now... With normal fonts however, QTCUPS should be OK. The CUPS daemon needs some seconds for preparing after being started and during this time it does not listen to the requests of client applications as QTCUPS. XPP would give an error message when it does not get an answer from the daemon. So this is a bug of QTCUPS. I will forward this to the author. I'll try to fix it, it's not so dramatic however.

[Cooker] qtcups Bugs
Hi Cookers! I've noticed several bugs in qtcups. First a general question: Can you create new printers with qtcups ? The first obviously bug concerns the fonts. This may be a qt issue, but I don't know for sure. My default font is relatively large as I have a large screen resolution. The Button with the properties Label is too small (parts if the P are missing) and the Page selection is not high enough as well (the three line text is truncated above and below). The Comment Line is only partially displayed. Also "Collate copies" is only shown as "Collate copie". The properties dialog has these bug as well, f.e. in "General" the Orientation label is truncated below and under Text a Label is shown as "Syntax Coloring (C/C". I could go on with these but I think you got the idea now :-) If I resart cups, qtcups prints a message that it could not find the printer (and does not show it) and core dumps, if I press ok. When I run qtcups again all works fine. Best regards, Reinhard Katzmann
