[Digikam-users] Print Assistant

This is the console messages from the point at which I start the Print 
Assitant to the point at which I close the Assistant. I have the whole 
trace from start to finish of running digikam but searching through it 
all this is all the messages which come up while running the Assitant, 
the only other mention of printing is where it loads the PrintImagesUI. 
The last couple of lines appear when trying to change paper size from A4 
to 6x4 which does not work.
