So long?

If you use the Qt-4.4 snapshots you would see that QPrinter already has 
custom page sizes (not in KDE3), margins per side, much better qprintinfo 
infrastructure, a printpreview etc etc etc.

And Qt4.4 is scheduled for Q1-2008.  Which is only a short while after the 
KDE4 release party. For some distros the timing will actually be such 
that the first release of KDE based on 4 will actually already include 
Qt4.4.
For actual end users the "waiting" is not what I would call "long".

Now, I understand totally if you want actively resolve this instead of 
sitting still and waiting for the new version. But at the same time I 
have to ask you if you are not perceiving problems that most users don't 
really think exists.
Especially WIndows / Mac users will currently see their native dialog. 
Your proposal would make them loose that.  IMO that's the wrong direction 
to take.

That said, I don't want this to be my decision, so feel free to ignore me.
