Summary: FIXED IN SVN: No printing dialog with KDE4

Initial Comment:
Since there is no kprinter in KDE4,  rkward  with default options will not show a printing dialog.
Workaround is to install and use xpp.

Yes, that's a separate issue. I have opened a new ticket for that.

Message:
Device -> Print works now !

However, keys like Ctrl+P or Ctrl+W do not work in the graphics window,
but that is probably a separate issue.

I see, thanks. So does it work, now, after another svn up?

Message:
I'm using R version 2.12.1, which doesn't know the fileext argument for
tempfile().

dev.set (2)
dev.print (rk.printer.device)
Error in tempfile(fileext = ".ps") : unused argument(s) (fileext = ".ps")
Calls: dev.print ... eval.parent -> eval -> eval -> dev.copy -> device ->
tempfile

Message:
Thanks for testing. Is that with the development version of R, by any
chance? If so, I think the problem should be fixed after an SVN up.
Otherwise, could you please check the "Command Log" window? Any error
messages, there?

Regards
Thomas

Message:
Ctrl+P works now within in the editor and brings up the KDE printing
dialog.

However, nothing happens if Ctrl+P is pressed (or Device->Print is
selected)
in a graphic window. No error message is displayed in the shell.

Version 0.5.6z+0.5.7+devel1
Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.92 (KDE 4.4.92 (KDE 4.5 RC2))

Message:
Ok, this should finally be fixed in the development version, now. Please
test.

Note: To see the printing dialog with dev.print(), use
"dev.print(rk.printer.device)". Using Device->Print from the menu / Ctrl+P
should work out of the box.

Note2: RKWard no longer set options("printcmd"). However, there's a new
free text input field in Settings->Configure RKWard->R backend, in case you
have use for that.
