Report printing worked OK in 4.8.1.1, but stopped with 5.0.1 (Gentoo skipped 5.0.0). I go to Reports, and choose any of them. The report displays OK on the screen. I then click on File>Print... or the Print... toolbar icon or hit Ctrl+P, and the Printer selection dialog box pops up. Select "Print to File (PDF)", and the dialog now offers /home/paul/print.pdf, which is fine, so I click on Print, and it says print.pdf already exists, do I want to overwrite it. I say yes, and it pretends to do it, but it's lying, the file is unchanged. Alternatively, if I try to print to a printer, again it claims to have worked, but nothing appears in the CUPS queue. Other KDE5 apps such as Kmail print OK, and come up with the same print dialog. If I run kmymoney from the terminal, there's nothing relevant in the output. I tried to rebuild kmymoney with CMAKE_BUILD_OPTIONS=Debugfull, but Gentoo's ebuild overwrote it, so I can't run with --trace, assuming that's still even valid.
I'm not sure if setting the debug USE flag will build one of the debug versions on Gentoo, but it's worth trying. If it doesn't work, you would have to build manually. (If you are going to build manually, you can install under /usr/local, so you can install and then remove it without interfering with the emerged version. I just tried and got the same behavior, using git master (Gentoo ebuild from the KDE overlay.) I'll try to get a debug version running later today.
I tried on a different box running ArchLinux 32-bit, also with kmymoney-5.0.1, and printing worked there, so it looks like its a Gentoo problem. Looking further into the Gentoo EAPI stuff, it does inherit a debug flag, but IIUC that sets Qt and other debug settings, but not the correct option for kmymoney (indeed, as far as I can see, it sets CMAKE_BUILD_OPTIONS=Gentoo; not sure what that means).
I don't understand the Gentoo CMAKE_BUILD_OPTIONS either, but getting it to not strip symbols takes changing the environment of the ebuild. Instead, I rebuilt manually, but have run into separate problems with loading (trying to load) the wrong plugins, so it may take me a bit to revise my process for building/loading a second version. I'm still working on it.
I tried it on my Gentoo install, also with kmymoney-5.0.1. Here, "Print to PDF" created the file /home/ca/print.pdf and its contents correspond to the report that was on the screen when I clicked on Print. Next I tried to print a diagram, again using the same PDF file (and saying Yes to the overwrite question). Its contents were changed, the previous report disappeared, but the diagram was not included in the PDF file. Instead, the PDF now shows a one-page document that is blank except for a grey box filling most of the page. Last, I opened another report and printed that one to PDF, again overwriting the same file. It worked and the new report is now in the PDF. I haven't tried printing to a printer. For information, my emerge USE flags for the installed kmymoney are: Installed versions: 5.0.1-r2(5)(18.50.49 06.04.2018)(activities handbook quotes -addressbook -calendar -debug -hbci -holidays -ofx -test -weboob PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")
So since at least one Gentoo user has it working (we can track down the "missing" diagram later) it's probably not the ebuild itself. My current suspicion is some either missing or misconfigured KDE library or helper utility. If I can get a new copy properly compiled with debugging, hopefully I'll be able to track it down.
Christian - what is the value of the webkit use flag for KMyMoney? ("emerge --info kmymoney" should show it.) It's probably -webkit. Paul - see if printing work if you switch to -webkit use flag for KMyMoney. If I'm right, we now need to figure out why printing works with ENABLE_WEBENGINE OFF, but not if it's ON.
Summat funny going on: I've just tried various rebuilds of kmymoney-5.0.1-r2, or so it purports, but the program insists it's 5.0.0 in About kmymoney, and on the splash screen. According to emerge --info kmymoney (I'll put the full output into another comment): app-office/kmymoney-5.0.1-r2::gentoo was built with the following: USE="activities handbook holidays quotes -addressbook -calendar -debug -hbci -ofx -test (-weboob)" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" no sign of a webkit use flag. I tried adding addressbook and calendar, but as far as I can tell, nothing changed. I presumed I might see something in Settings to say which addressbook and calendar. I wonder if the ebuild is picking up the wrong file - though it has the right name. I don't know where to look in the archive to find its putative version number. When I ran this version (which still doesn't print) from the command line, console output was WebConnect: Try to connect to WebConnect server WebConnect: Connect to server failed WebConnect: Running in server mode Plugins: checkprinting loaded Plugins: csvexporter loaded Plugins: csvimporter loaded Plugins: gncimporter loaded Plugins: icalendarexporter loaded Plugins: qifexporter loaded Plugins: qifimporter loaded Plugins: reconciliation report loaded Online plugins found 0 Cost center model created with items 0 Payees model created with items 0 reading file start parsing file startDocument reading securities endDocument Plugins: checkprinting unloaded Plugins: csvexporter unloaded Plugins: csvimporter unloaded Plugins: gncimporter unloaded Plugins: icalendarexporter unloaded Plugins: qifexporter unloaded Plugins: qifimporter unloaded Plugins: reconciliation report unloaded

My bad on the webkit use flag. It looks like it's only present in the git (9999) ebuild versions (only in the kde layman overlay. 5.0.1-r2 has -DENABLE_WEBENGINE=OFF instead of being based on the use flag, which seem counter to what I expected (the value, not that it is static.) I need to get the debug of the views plugin working to see if I can actually find why the print isn't actually happening. Regarding the version number, it seems to simply be an oversight that 5.0.1 was released with the version still showing 5.0.0. That's not a packaging issue.
Created attachment 112555 [details] emerge --info for Christian's setup Here's my emerge --info output.
I also ran kmymoney from the command line and printed one report to a PDF.

Version 5.0.1 showing as 5.0.0 is a known Bug 392372 .
The problem occurs when KMM is compiled without WEBENGINE and not when compiled with it, in case anyone knows why that would affect printing. If you use the print function on the home page, plugins are not involved, so debugging should be easier. I've done an strace both ways, and the good run does have one more open of ~/print.pdf, but I haven't yet figured out why. Unfortunately, they were compiled from different git commits, so the strace outputs differ enough that comparison is not easy.
I am not sure if this holds true for all environments. I build KMyMoney without WEBENGINE enabled for a long time and can print without problems (both to printer and to file). openSUSE Leap 42.3 KDE Frameworks 5.32.0 Qt 5.6.2 (built against 5.6.2) The xcb windowing system
Well, i'm getting even more confused. I compiled from git master on an Artix Linux box, and it prints OK with or without WebEngine. On my Gentoo box, I finally just removed the system version, since it always insisted on loading the system plugins instead of the new ones. I've tried to gdb step through to find what is happening, but at least two tries failed because it didn't even load the reports view. I might try to trace through printing of the home page, but that seems to be done in a higher level KDE routine, not within KMM. I finally did get to step through the reportsview printing, but I just don't follow what's happening. Question: is there anyone seeing this problem who is NOT on Gentoo? While I'm still open to any other suggestions here, I'm going to try looking for suggestions within the Gentoo community. From the About KMyMoney, Libraries tab, I currently have KDE Frameworks 5.43.0 Qt 5.9.4 (built against 5.7.1)
I've tried understanding what's going on by using kmymoney within eclipse. "Debugging" implies a greater degree of sophistication than wot I dun, "flailing about" would be nearer. Whatever. The problem seems to be down to the Web Engine stuff. I had a suspicion about this; when kmail went to frameworks and KDE5 and so forth, at least on Gentoo, it temporarily used web engine to print emails, and I think the same's going on here. When I tried printing from the Home View, as built - without ENABLE_WEBENGINE, I think it's trying to call something from the KDE4 compatability stuff, except it's not been built against that, and instead might be using one from KDEWebKit. When I changed ENABLE_WEBENGINE to On with "ccmake .", then it used different code to print, AND IT WORKED! It produced the same nasty printout I got on Windows 10 - i.e. web fonts and green lineflow paper background.
Solved it! Having installed kdevelop and learnt how to step through the code, it turns out the problem was caused in Gentoo's handling of the change from QtWebKit V4 to V5. They added several USE flags in version 5, one of which is called "printsupport", and apparently it defaults to "-printsupport". Fix is, of course: "USE=printsupport" emerge dev-qt/qtwebkit I now have printed reports
Well, that explains why we didn't see the problem with WebEngine. I wonder if qtwebkit should raise some error if it is asked to print when compiled without printsupport. (I know that's a discussion for somewhere else, although I'm not sure where, possibly the Gentoo forums.) Unless anyone can think of a valid use-case for not having print support, I'll open a Gentoo bug suggesting that it require the printsupport USE flag be set if webkit is enabled for KMyMoney. Either that or at least some warning message.
