Description m.wege 2009-09-03 13:48:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The print dialog (as I recall, may be it was only certain programms) in KDE 3.5 allowed to choose page ranges in a different way then the current dialog does. I was able to print set: 1-3;6-8;9-17. With the new dialog I can only choose one page range. Which is a disandvantage not only if you want to print only certain pages of one document. The easy way to circumvent this would be: Call the print dialogue more then once. But what does not work: If you use the print 2-pages-on-one mode, then there are half empty pages in between. Would be nice if this would work again.

This is being addressed already for Qt4.6:
