Cristian, I don't think that we have any usability studies on the
printing system per say. However we have in the past and do regularlly
make improvements for our users. I'm including Jeremy Shaw who is our
engineer in charge of this area and he can work closely with you. Keep
me on the CC line so that I can monitor things as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks and let's make some good things happen!<br>
<br>

Hello Tom
Nice to hear from you.
Well, my discussion with Kevin and Randy turned around the fact that usability
and user experience of the KDE printing tools could be improved. I concluded
that Linspire might have a database of user reports, or migh have done (or
have intention to do) scientific usability studies.
Thus, the KDE community would be very pleased to collaborate with Linspire in
this kind of work. I must say that I didn't have occasions to use Linspire,
but I gather that a large part of KDE is directly used as is in your
products. So, all improvements in KDE are automatically reflected in
Linspire. Thus, I believe that it would be very beneficial to all of us,
those involved in this discussion, if Linspire would provide results of
usability studies or, even better, the code modifications resulted from such.
This is a first step. There are many other possibilities of cooperation, and I
think we would come to them in time.
Thanks a lot for your attention.
