Correct and that is important to give the QPrintDialog settings previously
choose by user.

Yes it could/should, because if you change printer properties you (B&W or
quality for instance) it should be appended to our previous setting. I know
that could be override it instead, but i can't manage all the settings before,
and i need some first (e.g page size for instance).

KdePrint iirc the code inside, is just a wrapper to new QPrintDialog(...), i
tested it with the same result (read problems), so the issue is not there.
If you read my last commit i print 4 times the QPrinter papersize attribute,
and only after pressing ok that is changed (and without using properties
button).

iirc as said new QPrintDialog() with the same parameters.

IMO the bug is in QPrintDialog
