Description Harald Nikolisin 2008-08-02 02:16:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The printer dialogs in KDE 4 applications show me the available CUPS printer (HP Photosmart) but offer no printing options (missing desperately Printout Mode / Resolution for steering the quality of the printout).
The whole Extended tab in the printer dialog is completely empty.

However KDE 3 apps running in KDE 4.x showing the old kprinter dialog which offers me these options.

I tested KDE 4.0 and nowadays KDE 4.1 on openSuSE 11.0 and this is really the last bigger bug (or removed feature) which I found - but for me it essential to control the printout options.

Actually, this is not a bug, it's simply not implemented yet, so I mark this as a wishlist item.
Comment 2 Harald Nikolisin 2008-08-08 00:06:48 UTC 
Ok... -  Are all printers affected or only some, like HP Multifunction Devices?

If all printers affected, I would be more than suprised! Or does nobody want to change the output quality between different programms? I would suspect that an email from KMail is printed in Draft or Normal while a foto from Gwenview should be printed in Foto-Quality or at least High-Quality.

Is there a shedule when KDE 4 supports the same printer dialog functionality as KDE 3 did?
Comment 3 Harald Nikolisin 2008-11-09 23:49:50 UTC 
It seems that is fixed - at least since KDE 4.1.1 the CUPS options of the HP Multifunction device are offeered
