So, I submitted a bug report:

It appears to me that we still need a KPrint class as a wrapper for 
QPrint.  Don't know if it is possible to associate it with the "Print" 
standard action, but at least some of the duplicated code could be moved 
to the class.  Otherwise, this fix needs to be used everywhere that 
something is printed.
