Since there is no kprinter in KDE4,  rkward  with default options will not show a printing dialog.
Workaround is to install and use xpp. -- Labels: user interface --
Comment 1 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2011-08-01 10:51:21 UTC 
Ok, this should finally be fixed in the development version, now. Please test.

Note: To see the printing dialog with dev.print\(\), use "dev.print\(rk.printer.device\)". Using Device->Print from the menu / Ctrl+P should work out of the box.

Note2: RKWard no longer set options\("printcmd"\). However, there's a new free text input field in Settings->Configure RKWard->R backend, in case you have use for that.

Ctrl+P works now within in the editor and brings up the KDE printing dialog.

However, nothing happens if Ctrl+P is pressed \(or Device->Print is selected\)
in a graphic window. No error message is displayed in the shell.

Version 0.5.6z+0.5.7+devel1
Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.92 \(KDE 4.4.92 \(KDE 4.5 RC2\)\)
Comment 4 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2011-08-08 17:11:54 UTC 
Thanks for testing. Is that with the development version of R, by any chance? If so, I think the problem should be fixed after an SVN up. Otherwise, could you please check the "Command Log" window? Any error messages, there?

Regards
Thomas

I'm using R version 2.12.1, which doesn't know the fileext argument for tempfile\(\).

dev.set \(2\)
dev.print \(rk.printer.device\)
Error in tempfile\(fileext = ".ps"\) : unused argument\(s\) \(fileext = ".ps"\)
Calls: dev.print ... eval.parent -> eval -> eval -> dev.copy -> device -> tempfile
Comment 6 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2011-08-09 06:57:18 UTC 
I see, thanks. So does it work, now, after another svn up?

Device -> Print works now \!

However, keys like Ctrl+P or Ctrl+W do not work in the graphics window,
but that is probably a separate issue.
Comment 8 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2011-08-10 07:23:41 UTC 
Yes, that's a separate issue. I have opened a new ticket for that.
