Description tabraun 2010-03-22 23:08:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

When printing a pdf from okular, the printing dialogue opens very slowly, blocking okular in the meanwhile. The same is observed for acroread.
OpenOffice and Firefox printing dialogue is ok, but they are not using pdf.

This happens on opensuse 11.2, kde 4.3.1 printer hp 5615.

I am not sure whether this is a kde issue. It may also be a problem with the printer filter for pdf?

Does this happen in every KDE program? Does it happen in pure Qt programs like assistant-qt4?

I remember some reported slowness if CUPS was configured with a network printer (and other special situations...).. by some chance, is that your situation ?

No reply to the questions in 17 months, I think we can close this one assuming it's a duplicate of the Qt bug.
