  KDEPrint Site Goes Live
Desktop Environment Posted by Navindra Umanee on Tuesday 04/Dec/2001, @23:17
from the out-of-paper dept.
Chris Howells wrote in to inform us of the new KDEPrint site at printing.kde.org. The site is chockful of information including pretty screenshots, a description of new KDEPrint features slated for KDE3, information, presentation, and general documentation including a faq, handbook, and tutorials. But wait, there's more! For no extra cost, you may subscribe to a brand new kde-print mailing list where both users and developers are welcome. So if you have trouble or issues with KDEPrint not already dealt with by the site, feel free to subscribe to that list. Enjoy.

Wonderful!

The printing system in KDE 2.2 and the further developments in KDE 3 are my favourite part of KDE: when combined with CUPS they finally bring printing on UNIX out of the dark ages! I'm still amazed how quickly it was developed once someone got an itch to do it. It often seems to be overlooked - do people not realise just how imporant decent printing support is, both for general quality of life *and* in getting KDE accepted by business?

Congratulations to all involved.

What about True Type Fonts??
by Asif Ali Rizwaan on Wednesday 05/Dec/2001, @03:07
I wonder whether other languages' true type fonts, like for hindi, telugu, etc., get printed with this! Or the user got to get the PCF font?

IOSlave

Wouldn't be fine to handle (view and delete) printer jobs through an konq. ioslave instead of through an extra application?

This is the kind of thing that end users really need in order to use any environment. Congrats to the KDEPrint team!

KDEPrint fits even GNOME developers
by CUPS-lover on Thursday 06/Dec/2001, @03:11
I *luv* the FAQs there... I *hope* they will extend it even more. I like best this part:

Q: Can I use KDEPrint together with GNOME?
A: Yes. We even know some GNOME developers who use the "kprinter" utility on a day-to-day basis for their printing needs...

[No flame-war intended here. Just to proof: KDE/GNOME inter-operation is starting to gain ground... ;-) ]

Very usefull stuff, these FAQs! Also the various print tutorials the printing.kde.org site. Printing sucks much less with CUPS/KDEprint. Big kudos to the whole kdeprint team. (Without real world print support, no real world desktop environment for Unix. KDEPrint was one of only a few "missing links". In place now....)
