Printing problem with solution

[Ravikiran Rajagopal]

Oops.  I forgot to mention a couple of things:

This is necessary in kdevelop/print/cprintdlg.cpp:

#include <qstringlist.h>

and please comment out the line that sends diagnostic messages to cerr as 
that needs iostream.

Regards,
Ravi

Repeat of my last message:



Hi,
  I have been using KDevelop 1.4beta2 with KDE 2.1beta2. The print dialog has 
a few problems with sane defaults. It sends enscript empty fontnames if the 
user does not explicitly choose fonts. From the user's point of view, it 
seems as if the printing capability does not work. The solution I present 
here is a hack but works nevertheless:

In kdevelop/print/cprintdlg.cpp, in function slotOkClicked, replace the two 
instances of 

*process << "enscript " + string + " " + files;

by

  // Ravi's modifications ----------------------------------------
  QString RArgs = "enscript " + string + text + " " + files;
  RArgs.simplifyWhiteSpace();
  QStringList RArgList = QStringList::split(QString::QString(" "),RArgs);
  QStringList::Iterator RIt;
  process->clearArguments();
  for ( RIt = RArgList.begin(); RIt != RArgList.end(); ++RIt )
    {
      cerr << (*RIt).latin1() << "\n";
      if (!((QString::QString(*RIt)).right(1) == "="))
        *process << QString::QString(*RIt);
    }
  // End modifications --------------------------------------------

This works by not giving enscript any options with null arguments. Sorry I am 
unable to send this as a patch, but I don't have any pristine sources and my 
net connection is really slow. I suspect that similar errors may occur with 
lpr and a2ps options, too.
