Hi
This summer, OpenPrinting [1] has created a Common Print Dialog project via the
Google Summer of Code (2017) program to improve the experience of printing in
Linux systems with a modern UI and backend APIs that will be maintained by the
OpenPrinting org (the idea can be found here [2]). I am one of the students who
worked on this project. For the UI, we decided to build one using Qt 5.
Although, the dialog started as an application to ship with individual
distributions, we changed course and instead built a print dialog API which can
be used by application developers to include the dialog in their applications.
We wish to integrate this dialog API into Qt so that any application built
using Qt can use this dialog to include support for printing. The code for the
dialog can be found here [3]. We request the Qt developers to review the code
and help us in integrating the dialog into Qt. The build instructions are given
in the README file and screenshots of the dialog will be uploaded very soon.
Thanks,
Rithvik
