Ron,

Please use the kde-pim mailing list for discussion.
The korganizer-devel list is really only for bugs use.

You'll find that in the top-level korganizer build dir.

There is currently no way to access the KOrganizer global preferences from
within the print subsystem.  This is due to a cyclical dependency of the libraries.
IIRC, we need a refactoring.  Perhaps now in 4.3 would be a good time to finally
make this refactoring happen.

I can't think of any better idea than the refactoring I describe above.
It may be as simple as breaking the koprefs out into its own little library.

Do you want to do that?
