Collaboration between KDE printing development team and Linspire

[Tom Welch]

Cristian, I don't think that we have any usability studies on the 
printing system per say.  However we have in the past and do regularlly 
make improvements for our users.  I'm including Jeremy Shaw who is our 
engineer in charge of this area and he can work closely with you.  Keep 
me on the CC line so that I can monitor things as well.

Thanks and let's make some good things happen!
