Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Hi! Some applications/kparts like khtml are not able to tell you how many printed pages a document will have until they actually prepare a print job. For these cases it would be very handy if you could create a print preview where you can see the final pages and select the pages to be printed there, eg. by flagging them in the page list or similar. Or is there already an easy way to achieve thsi? Currently I a) make a print preview, look which pages I want to have, close the preview, enter the pages in the "range" field of the print dialog and then print them out b) print into a file and use kghostview or gv to print the pages I want. Greetings, Gunter
There's no way at the moment. The problem is that kdeprint is using an external component for the preview (the kghostview component), and this component acts like a black box: kdeprint cannot know which pages were selected by the user. Once this will be possible, your wish will be fullfilled. Michael.
This is a must -- not only is this a nice thing to have (wishlist), but the meaningless presence of page-selection checkboxes in preview is confusing. If they are ignored, they should not be there -- which should elevate this report to a Bug. It should be possible to query the kghostview component, which pages are selected... Thanks!

Created attachment 7790 [details] hides print markers to confusion The attached patches for kghostview and the kdeprint preview hide the markers in the pagelist for the print preview. I know it would be better to allow the user to mark the pages in the preview he wants to print but to do this we would need to define an interface. Sincerely, Felix Berger
The patches are in a gzipped tar archive, I couldn't set the mimetype right.
For me it looks good, but what kghostview developer think about it? Luis?
Closing old Resolved status bug.
