Hi Till

First, thanks for replying my message :)

Yes, I'm probably messing the mail about names (KDE Print kdeprint kprint, 
etc). But the central point is that for the user the name doesn't matter. 
What it wants is to have his/her papers printed, and just that :)

I don't know much about printing, but I don't know any other interface that 
can be easilly integrated into KDE and that provides as many features as KDE 
Print does. Anyway, that was just a suggestion and I was expressing my point 
of view. It is not me who decides what will be done for 2006, and what are 
the priorities.

That's sad :(
The filters are good because you can do many useful things using them, but the 
interface for using them is not so simple. But if we can't do anything better 
until the 2006 release, let's keep the one which has more useful features
