Description Andrey Cherepanov 2006-03-20 09:17:31 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-1.667smp

For usability reasons I need to direct print web-page from Konqueror without print settings dialog. How I do this?
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2006-03-24 19:11:49 UTC
You don't.

We don't allow a webpage to print itself without the user confirming it.
Comment 2 Kurt Pfeifle 2007-01-06 05:08:02 UTC
Probably that's  not what Andrey meant. 

He was probably thinking of a "quickprint" option, where clicking one button or selecting one menu entry prints without popping up kprinter first.

That could not exactly be described at "a webpage printing itself".
Comment 3 Kurt Pfeifle 2007-01-06 21:24:46 UTC
Andrey,

here is possibly a workaround for you, if you need this function badly:

 (a) Familiarize yourself with the KDE "service menus" and how to create them.
     (tutorial: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html )

 (b) Create a service menu entry for your system that runs "kprinter --nodialog"

That should achieve what you need.

KDE printing will not get new features like that during the KDE 3.x lifetime. Sometime soon I'll create a sort of "meta bug report" targettet at KDE4 development summarizing all current printing issues and unsolved wishlist items to make sure that these issues will gain attention early on in the development process.

Therefore, I'll close *this* bug as WONTFIX.

Ok. I think print via service menu is enough for me. Thanks for advice.
