Printing out of konqueror

[Larry Howe]

As an aside, I notice this same behavior in Windows. Explorer has no print 
command at all when you're browsing directories. If you want to print a file 
listing, DOS is the only way. Is Konqueror mimicing explorer in this regard? 
I doubt there is any technical reason. As you say, if the same data were a 
web page, it would print fine.

Should we request this feature in Konqueror? I would find it useful also. I 
don't really have time to initiate it, but if you feel like starting it I 
will be glad to help out in whatever way I can.
