This page details work on Printing in KDE.
Current information
KDE4 uses the Qt printing infrastructure for the application side and system-config-printer for the Print System Configuration.
Development Plans
The primary plan is to use Qt OpenGov to push our required features into Qt5. This may require an interim fork for KDE4 as it may take up to 2 years for KDE5 to emerge with the new printing features enabled.
- Features missing from Qt Printing and how to get them back
- Printer Management
- Print Job Management
- Gitorious repo of Advanced Page Handling patches
- The OpenPrinting Common Print Dialog
CUPS Information
The old printing.kde.org website had some useful general information on CUPS which are reproduced below. This may eventually be transferred to TechBase or UserBase if deemed useful.
Historic Information
Old information about KDEPrint3 transferred from TechBase and printing.kde.org.
