Printing
This page details work on Printing in KDE.
Current information
KDE4 uses the Qt printing infrastructure for the application side and system-config-printer for the Print System Configuration.
Development Plans
The primary plan is to use Qt OpenGov to push our required features into Qt5. This may require an interim fork for KDE4 as it may take up to 2 years for KDE5 to emerge with the new printing features enabled.
