Fri 15 Oct 2010 01:31:55 PM UTC, comment #1: I've stated an implementation of a native print widget. The widget will return whether we want to print or save a file, a printer name (or a file name) and some common settings. On Linux and Mac we can use lpr to spool to the printer. On Win as far as I understand we can send the postscript file via COPY /B if the printer is on a local port. Some different strategy should be used if the printer is on the network. Qt does not provide any cross-platform way to send raw PS commands to the printer. |

Use native printing widget in Qt port, or some small standard cross-platform application for previewing and printing the Postscript or Pdf output. |

I wrote a printing widget (Qt only, C++) a long time ago (2010?) but at the time I didn't realize it wasn't such a good idea to code it in C++. I'd like some input on what to do with it.
It is currently available as an "Experimental feature". It uses cups in Linux and MacOS to load the list of printers and print and is generally usable, some testing is still required under Windows.
