--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
See the "Image Settings" tab in that screenshot? It comes from ShowFoto, and is
added onto the standard print dialog. So if you printed an image from Dolphin
using just the bare Qt print dialog, you would not be able to customize the
image's position and scale like you could if you printed it from ShowFoto or
Gernview or another image-handling app. That's the problem.

So it's not really that we *can't* do this, but more that if we did, the
experience would be almost universally worse than the experience of printing
from an app, because none of the app-specific print options that you're
accustomed to would be available.

If the Qt print dialog ever gets more smarts and learns how to handle basic
positioning and scaling for images and documents on its own, we could probably
re-visit this decision. But until then, I think we have to live with it.

...Unless you or someone else wanted to write a 3rd-party servicemenu plugin
for Dolphin that adds this functionality! Nothing's stopping that from
happening.
