If you talking about Todd Shoemakers, he don't maintain the print wizzard 
kipi-plugin anymore.

A new maintainer is require to improve fix this plugin.

Note that digikam-user ML is not the right way to talking with kipi-plugin 
team. You need to use the kde-imaging at kde.org ML.

There is also the KDE Bugzilla entries about this plugin :
