I completely agree that the gimp-print interface is far superior. On top of the size and paper selection colours are much nicer. I understand that this maybe a kde-print issue - but why use the inferiour printing system? Couldnt digikam or KIPI use gimp-print.

On the idea of multiple photos on a sheet - I enjoy having thumbnails printed so I can bring them with me on hard copy. But aspect is 1:1 in the wizard. Why not try to keep aspect ratios.

Basically I would something like the two steps in imagemagick:
convert -thumbnail 200 pic01.jpg thumb_pic01.jpg
convert -thumbnail 200 pic02.jpg thumb_pic02.jpg
...
convert -thumbnail 200 picxx.jpg thumb_picxx.jpg

montage -tile 5x7 -page a4 thumb_pic01.jpg thumb_pic02.jpg
thumb_picxx.jpg Contact_sheet.jpg

and then print the sheet.
