Description T Kleindienst 2016-06-29 10:02:29 UTC

After doing the stop from KDE4 to kf5 with latest Kubuntu 16.04 LTS it seems all kf5 based apps "lost" the ability to show the cups options with the print dialog?!

Any hint how to get back the cups options tab? Am I doing something wrong? KDE4 apps (Kubuntu 16.04 seems to still rely on okular from kde4 whereas e.g. gwenview is already kf5-based) show the cups options tab with the print dialog (I need to specify some printer specific variables when printing)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  open any kf5 based app with printing functionality
2.  open the print dialog
3.  no possibility to set cups variables from the print dialog

Actual Results:  
no way to adjust cups variables.
This functionality is important when using printers with extra functionality like stitching or stapling....

Expected Results:  
provide a possibility to adjust cups variables within the general print dialog

The job options were moved to the Qt 5 printer properties dialog. If some option is missing there, please report this directly to https://bugreports.qt.io/
