Printing multiple copies, printing copies in landscape mode. This 
user has a fancy printer that he is trying to control from the 
computer, including tray selection etc.

Slackware through 12.2 provides KDE 3.5, KPDF and XPDF. Slack 
current (to be Slack 13 soon) provides KDE4, Okular and XPDF but no 
KPDF.   It makes sense to me to drop XPDF and add KPDF but it is 
possible that KDE4 won't support KPDF at all.

I have found  ways to compile programs which require Qt4 libs in my 
older environment. So KDE4 is less and less attractive to me.  
Reminds me a bit of "New Coke." But if that is all that will be 
offered with Slack 13 I want to be ready.
