Fixing kdelibs?
(That, from my point of view, is more or less working, as I can print preview 
and print to file, at least.)

Then it's better to create HUGE regressions?
Are you going to explain that to okular users that they will NOT be able to 
print PDF, PS, DVI and DjVu documents?

a) it's not portable (and I want 100% portability for okular, sorry if I have 
portability in mind)
b) it's too late for us to develop such solution
c) it's a (stupid) workaround, worse than even copy the whole kdeprint within 
okular

Sorry, but the objections to the QPrinter solution were raised before (for 
example by Albert), but they were happily rejected.
How can I being "costructive" this way, when any other solution than QPrinter 
was simply rejected?
