I see. I did not know about this function, but I'll use it in the next version 
of kbarcode (it's to late for todays 1.3.5 release :-( ).

I hope to release the next stable release of KBarcode soon and it will be 
surely available before KDE 3.2. I hope that all users will update to 
KBarcode 1.4.0 as many bugs will be fixed in this release. As I will use 
printer->autoConfigure() in this release, I think it is save for you to make 
your changes to the KPrinter code as long as they do not get backported to 
KDE 3.1. Most people who will upgrade to KDE 3.2 will  also be able to 
upgrade to KBarcode 1.4.0.
