Well gwenview has a better implementation ;)
Can you test this patch? It's not all you asked for,
but I can improve it if you like, porting more code
from the one i implemented for gwenview.

To reporters, try to use gwenview by now for that
even if it has a little bug I'm working, that
does not restore the scale option enabled.

Subject: [Digikam-devel] image editor and print option (patch)
Date: 22:08, venerdì 29 dicembre 2006
From: Angelo Naselli <anaselli at linux dot it>
To: digikam-devel kde org

Hi,
first of all I'd like to introduce myself, as some of you know
I'm kipi's project coordinator and an occasional developer.
Since I like the way gwenview prints photos (maybe just
because I did, but I did because i'd have liked to have it :) )
I decided to port that code here. I mean there are two ways
to print, either using kipi-plugins or using image editor.
The first one is the best, but sometime i like to print out an
image just because i'm watching it. If I use gwenview the code
allows it and manages two options that are missed here e.g.
keep ratio and alignment. Well there is something more but i've 
spent a lot of time to insert gui objects, I'm not very good at it
and i prefer to use ui files and designer (Gilles I know you don't,
but it's very easy for occasional contributors), so the code is still
in gwenview. Just want to recall the B&W option I cannot believe someone
ever used it, two colors, better using grayscale, but that is a driver
option, so no need to add it ;) (even if the preview is not good)
IIRC the so called "fit to page" option works if an image has to
be enlarge and not shrinked... And all of that is in gwenview
code.
Anyway the attached patch is something that improve the print function.
Hope you'll like it and commit (i can do it if you like).

Just another thought, why trash is near print in the menu, it seems 
a bit dangerous...

Regards,
	Angelo
