What's the rationale behind using "Qt's default printer setup dialog at the moment", when there seem to be open-source alternative (and superior ? ) printing solutions already available out there? Is it because "It uses Poppler for PDF support, libspectre for PS support, DjVuLibre for DjVu support, CUPS for printing support and the Qt toolkit for its interface", and that would not be compatible with the GNOME / Evince printing solution? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of qpdfview, which is an answer contact for qpdfview. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~qpdfview More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

https://answers.launchpad.net/qpdfview/+question/210457
Status: Open => Answered
Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello,
Glad that you like the program. Options concerning print quality (or
other printer- resp. driver-specific options) should be accessible via
the properties section of the print dialog as you said.
However, the general options for printing are rather slim at the moment
and this is a problem of qpdfview. We are using Qt's default printer
setup dialog at the moment and I have not found a simple way to extend
it yet. Therefore options like "page-set={even | odd}" (printing only
even or odd pages) or "number-up=n" (printing several pages on the sides
of each sheet) are not accessible yet. The only way to achieve this
currently is using the "lp" command-line tool and pass the corresponding
options.
I update this question as soon as I have decided on way to tackle this
problem, hopefully by extended the default printer setup dialog.

Question #210457 on qpdfview changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/qpdfview/+question/210457 Description changed to: hi. I discovered qpdfview a few weeks ago and I really like but I have 2 questions... Is it possible to print documents in both sides of the pages. ( Like a button that says print even pages or odd pages? ) and Is it possible to print pages with less ink (I think the expression used is "draft mode") (***Done*** in the "print" dialog, click on properties, then click on "advanced" tab, and finally double-click on the value column for "print quality") btw I'm using Lubuntu 12.04 ps, I am not really sure if this is related to qpdfview or the hp-setup, but when I had evince I remember that I could use the even/odd pages button.
