There's two clear issues here.

1) Print Preview does not show the final output of the job with the CUPS
options as selected in the Print Dialog.  This is only a KDE3 issue for now, as
KDE4 uses the Qt Print Dialog which does not allow Print Preview from the
dialog.  As KDEPrint in KDE3 is unmaintained this issue will never be
addressed.

2) Ease of selection of pages to print from within the Print Preview.  This
could actually be an easy-ish one to solve.  The KDE4 KPrintPreview generates a
PDF of the whole document then calls the KPart for showing PDF's, which is
usually OkularPart.  Okular has the ability to Bookmark pages and print just
those selected pages, so it may be possible to show the OkularPart with the
Page Previews and Bookmark option and a Print button to meet this request. 
This needs further investigation.  Another option is to request the feature be
added to the QPrintPreviewDialog and use that instead.

Leave open for now to remind me to look into Print Preview a bit more for KDE
4.3.  If investigation shows is feasible, I'll open a separate wish.
