It would be very good to have string instead of existing range 'from-to' for choosing pages to print ('Pages') with "," and "-" support for sequence and range. Now if you want to print several pages not in range from first to last you need to print it one by one.

The KDE4 print dialog is no longer provided by KDE itself but is instead the Qt Print Dialog.  We are unable to make the required change ourselves as an extension, but we can try influence Qt to add this feature.  This feature has been requested but obviously not yet implemented.  It would help if Qt could see there is enough user demand for the feature, so please feel free to raise a suggestion with them at http://trolltech.com/developer/task-tracker .

Closing as Upstream.

Sorry, I tried to find the similar request in the tracker in the link, but I didn't found such one. Also, I can't find how to get registered there. Is there any way for me to this feature request there?
