Please let me follow up with duplicate bug 328988, advocating again that until the print system in KDE 4 is in shape, a fallback should be provided.
This can be 1) kdeprint from kde 3.5.10 that is already packaged for ubuntu since there is a kubuntu jaunty derivative based on KDE 3.5 2) the print dialogue application from xubuntu 3) the gnome print dialog application Where 1) appears to me as the most obvious choice. IMHO it is wrong to say that shipping kdeprint from KDE 3.5 would not help KDE 4 applications: Case: Mr. A wants to print only the odd pages of a document from a KDE 4 application (or multiple copies of the document, or an n-up doc). Using only KDE 4 apps, simply he cannot. Best option today: print to pdf and then do the real printing with the *non free* acrobat reader that has odd-even page selection. This is what I have seen all people doing. With kdeprint from kde 3.5 one would be able to first print to pdf from the kde4 app and then simply print the pdf with kdeprint. No need to rely on non-free software anymore. And of course kdeprint from 3.5.10 would help all those non-kde application that want to be provided a command for printing since kde 4 has nothing to offer here (think of emacs, tgif, CAD stuff, ecc.). -- kde print ignores duplex & copy options https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
