Just my 2 cents to add to Kuba words (and taking into account that I just 
followed this discussion on the surface...): I also like a lot the old KDE 
print framework, it's so easy to use! And kprinter is a must-have, I think. 

Anyway, I'm confident that people involved in this part of KDE will produce a 
great solution :-)
