KPrinter::pageSize() never changes in 3.1.4

[Michael Goffioul]

For internal reasons you have first to build a QPainter object
on KPrinter. This will trigger the synchronization between
the KPrinter object and the selected options.

if (kprinter.setup())
{
    QPainter painter(&kprinter);
    /* now kprinter.pageSize() should return the correct value */
}
