There's still a lot of features missing from QtPrintSupport and it
needs a fundamental re-write to support modern print systems (e.g,
pull printing, IPP, cloud services, etc). The underlying architecture
is designed and parts implemented, but to bring it to completion is
not a weekend activity (my last change-set took 6 months and almost
broke me). Funding needs to be found in the Qt community to support at
least a years full-time work to implement everything needed on all the
platforms. Sadly, seems no-one is interested in paying for such
un-sexy work, because supposedly we live in a paperless society...
