Description Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2008-09-24 11:52:26 UTC

The printer settings are never stored. Whenever a new printjob is launched, I have to set duplex, monochrome (why is there a color option at all for a BW laser printer?), margins etc...

I am using KDE4 desktop factory repo.

Can't test this; beta1 doesn't configure a CUPS queue.  Will check again later.

Is this a Qt or KDE printer dialog?

Comment 3 Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2008-10-05 11:44:52 UTC

Sorry for the delay, have been on vacation.

It hits me with every KDE printer dialog, i.e. the printer dialog triggered from within KDE programs (such as Okular, Gwenview, Kate, Kwriter, etc).

I have no vanilla QT application at hand so that I can't tell if it's the same there, too. However, I suspect it to be a QT issue. But that's just a feeling, then.

The lack of this is confirmed upstream. As it seems it is both due to the poor printing support in KDE4 and a bug in Qt4.4 :(
