Hello again,
as pointed out in #1331646, the printing dialog itself is implemented by
Qt and not by qpdfview and hence we can't do anything about that (short
of replicating that functionality, but Qt is improving in this regard).
What would be a bug is if you could change that in other software
Qt Creator might be a bit heavy for just testing this, JuffEd seems
to be in the Ubuntu repository and also use the default Qt printing
dialog. (From trying this out here using Qt4, I can do edit those
settings using JuffEd as well as qpdfview. (You have to double click the
values to change to
Do you have any other qt-based application from the top of your head
other than Qt creator? I'm not sure what it is but it looks like a tool
for creating an application, so in order to test it I should create an
application with it and then try printing with that application ¿? (the
File/Print
Well, after doing some random stuff the File/Print became available so I
could try to print right from Qt-creator.
If I open the printer properties, there's not even any Advanced tab,
no settings for print quality at all.
In the first dialog, the color mode suffers from the same problem
than
wow, that looks like a huge bug (or bunch of bugs) in Qt, making any Qt-
based application practically unfit for printing!
Gonna try qtcreator...

OMG!
The settings under Properties/Advanced ARE editable (I mean, in qpdfview
too). It's simply that the UI is so counterintuitive that you have to
find out how. You have to double-click on any value, then it will turn
into a dropdown, which then you can use to select the value.
This should

Hello again,
the root cause of both problems seems to be how Qt's printing dialog
handles the printer properties and what qpdfview makes of it,
specifically the color mode which Qt seems to ignore anyway (and
qpdfview only uses to force grayscale but not color), would it be OK for
you if we merge
Or perhaps there is a workaround for Qt's UI usability issue? maybe it
is possible to have the items in the settings list show up as dropdowns
in the first place without the need to double click on them first? I
have no idea, that would depend on Qt.

I guess you missed my comment #7 because we wrote almost at the same
time.
I personally wouldn't merge the two issues; this one is a purely UI one,
and it's much smaller than i thought (the advanced settings _can_ be
changed, it's just the most counterintuitive UI ever) and entirely
belongs to
