           Summary: Use KPDF for fast print preview rendering

Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Rendering a print preview of certain print jobs (photographs, scans, ...) can take a very long time in KDE ( long enough to take a walk to the coffee machine ). I know, this is the fault of GhostScript, not the KDE print system. But would it be possible to use the KPDF renderer to display print previews? It seems that KPDF is a lot faster.
