this is only true for the PrintDlg api function.

yes, the PrintDlgEx api function supports extending. See 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=118909039415777&w=2. It is only 
required to integrate this dialog into QPrintDialog.

There may be some additional methods like addPage or similar() and some 
stuff required to integrate the related win32  messages into Qt' 
signal/slot concept.

If you need more informations let me know.
