Re: Embedding external parts into KDE

This sounds great. Although I'm not a programmer, I can see how this opens a whole new world to KDE. I am impressed with design of KDE2, which seems to make it very easy to expand KDE far beyond it's built-in functionality. I have recently installed CUPS as my print system. I also installed QTCUPS, which provides a wonderful print dialog. However, I am not able to configure KDE2 to take advantage of the QTCUPS. I guess the printing system in KDE2 is hard-coded to the basic lpr system. Does this announcement mean that it should be easy for someone to integrate QTCUPS into the KDE printing system? Also, while I love all the new cool stuff happening with KDE2, I hope the developers add the ability to remember window size and screen position between sessions automatically in the next update. I know I can manually save window size (in konqueror), but not screen position. At any rate, thanks KDE team for all the wonderful work you are doing. Your continued innovations are giving the linux community less and less to criticize about KDE, and giving the other computing environments less to criticize about linux in general. KUDOS!!

I'd really like to find more information about how KDE prints. I also have cups installed on one machine but KDE doesn't use it. Konqy only lets me print ot a file, however a cups test print works perfectly.

Also what's the story with all the printer drivers in kdesupport? I have a feeling that KDE does have some sort of print system built in but I have no idea how it works!
