Printing from digikam V5

[Stuart T Rogers]

I am wondering how many people use digikam for printing their photos? My 
reason for asking is that until V5 I had always used digikam for 
printing photos when needed. However since V5 and the use of QT5 it has 
become impossible as the dialog will not allow the correct selection of 
paper size or landscape/portrait mode. I have tested this on both 
openSUSE Tumbleweed Leap42.2, and on Fedora 25 and all three exhibit the 
same issue. I have raised bugs with both distros but they just get left 
and nothing is happening. On searching for QT printing issues it does 
seem that there are a multitude of issues and in some cases no one seems 
to know how to resolve them. The printing issue is not restricted to 
digikam as the same issue happens with any application which uses QT5 
printing support. QT5 printing is simply not fit for purpose.

Is it possible for digikam to bring back the old printing capability 
which worked perfectly in all releases prior to V5.
