Well it seems that you are determined to ignore this bug.  I've 
described to you the experience of a seasoned KDE and Digikam user who 
was unable to figure out how to perform the basic operation of printing 
a photo from Digikam.  You respond by marking the bug invalid.  You win, 
I won't get into a bug-state-changing contest with you.  But I am 
telling you that this is a basic flaw in the user experience.  Whatever 
your reasoning, it is a failure to the user.  Color management?  What is 
that?  I don't know or care about color management.  I don't want to 
know.  I just want to print my photo.

Kipi-plugins?  Who says I even have that installed?  Or if I do have it 
installed, that I can find its print option in the menus under Album > 
Export?  Sorry, but that's a bad joke.  I would never have found it if 
not for Google.  And the fact is that that is a tool for printing whole 
albums, multiple images to a page, on letter-size paper.  I should have 
to file a bug against kipi-plugins to print my photo?

What I want is so simple:  Image > Print.  Right-click > Print.

Now let me also say that you've done a great job with Digikam and I'm 
not ungrateful.  Thanks very much for making it, and for taking the time 
to consider this report.

Andrew.
