I should have said "khtml" and not "konqueror". The viewer
component is responsible for the print operation, not konqueror
per se (which is then more of a container). When printing a web
page in konqueror, you should normally get a meaningful job name.
For other components (kpdf, kghostview...), it's their
responsbility to define the job name correctly.
