I realised that the pdf-output of print-to-file is always place on a
1414 x 1000 mm sheet. This is not the case for ps and eps, where the
Cannot find BoundingBox error does not appear.

 Yes, Qt-4.2.2 fixes the printing - the output is satisfactory and
 resembles the map composer in ps, eps and pdf format.
 However, when printing to a pdf-file the Cannot find BoundigBox error is
 still present ...
 No problem if one knows about it, but something to improve if it is easily
 fixed: It's a little bit confusing that the path-to-file input does not
 appear when the Print to file box is already turned on in the print
 dialogue. It's necessary to turn the box off and on again to hide the
 printer and get the path-to-file input.

 Try again with today fix. The problem was that Qt decided the format
 once during the session so for example after printing one pdf file
 the format was still pdf even if file name had ps/eps extension.

I still have a related problem with SVN 6195, but slightly different.

When I start QGIS the default filetype in print composer is PDF. I set
up a map, specify a path to an EPS file - then I get the infamous
errors: cannot find boundingbox and cannot find translate. But, if
I let QGIS print to PDF once, from then on printing to *any* format
becomes possible in the current session - be it PDF, PS or EPS. What
the devil?

 Because the QPrinter::outputFormat() is also buggy it was impossible
 to get info whic format is used.

 I have disabled default output to file and no it seems to work,
 you have to check output to file always but the format correspond
 to the extension.

That's better now, thanks.

Moreover I noticed map composer works way faster now, and the artifact
lines when rendering polygons are gone. Great!
