This is a recurrent wish. But this can be seen as a 3rd-party
application
that can be develop outside kdeprint. Indeed, Fineprint is a complete
*post-processing* application with a nice GUI (you can view it as a GUI
around psutils package). The same could be done for KDE, but it can be
done seperately as a stand-alone project. The task force in the kdeprint
project is rather limited, so I doubt that such an application could be
developed in a near future.

OTOH, it can be a potential "open-job" for KDE.
