Hi!
while printing many pages no feedback is given, kghostview looks dead.
IMHO it would be a good feedback to show the progress i.e. current page number which is printed.
(something like acroread)

I think this wish is not implemented in Okular.

I do not have a printer, so instead I printed an Okular document as a PDF (print, no export). And I do noticed that Okular freezes while the file is being generated: you can not use Okular (e.g. you can not scroll the current document), and you get no feedback of the impression progress.

Can anyone else confirm this feature request is valid for Okular?

I confirm this is valid. This becomes especially important when printing large documents. If you close Okular when you see printer has started, you'll get half-done print job because Okular closes without completing preparing print and you don't know this.

I don't think that the change of title reflects the bug. Okular provides print preview; this bug is about print *feedback*.
