Title:
  QPrinterDialog ignores default settings from CUPS

Status in Qt:

Status in qt4-x11 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  KDE as well as many QT-Applications use QPrinterDialog as their
  printing dialog. Thing is: This dialog ignores default settings
  defined in CUPS - it doesn't even remember that last settings that
  were chosen. I know this is a QT issue but I kindly ask you not to
  close this bug as upstream and here's why:

  1. This bug has been around for years now - the first report to Nokia about 
was back in 2008 if I recall correctly. 
  2. A user doesn't know and doesn't care about whose fault it is. He just 
knows, that he set his printer settings to default to duplex in CUPS and that 
his QT applications don't print duplex. At first he might shrug and set duplex 
in the dialog. Next time the setting is back to simplex. The same is true for 
other options like collate and color settings. It's just a huge usability 
issue. 
  3. The fix below has been adopted by other major distributions for quite some 
time now. It works for duplex, collate and color settings. 
  4. It saves lots and lots of trees!

  I think it does not work for paper size and in general it doesn't fix
  the problem that QT can't remember the settings you choose in the
  print dialog. The paper size may be read from the configured defaults
  easily, too, but settings saving may be a bit harder. However, you'd
  implement this fix, you'd do something VERY good for Ubuntu -
  especially since 12.04 is meant to be an LTS release! If you could
  even improve the fix that would be huge!

  Here's the fix from the KDE bug tracker:

https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-23037) and other bug reports from 
the comments there.

  For Oneiric I've made a patched version in a PPA of mine that you
  could look at. You'll see it's really a minor modification that
  doesn't take any effort at all to implement. You can find it here:
  https://launchpad.net/~dhertel/+archive/myfixes

  As a side note: I know that KDE is not the default environment in
  Ubuntu, but it's getting more important for people since Gnome2
  officially is no more and Unity isn't exactly better when one doesn't
  even like Gnome3 to begin with.

  So I hope this makes it into Precise...

[Touch-packages] [Bug 905147]

2020-04-12 Thread Kevin-kofler
The issue in this bug is already resolved in upstream Qt.

Your issue is a different issue, i.e., that there is no UI to set
default margins. Any settings you make in the print dialog are not
intended to be stored as defaults.

The place where you set default settings is using the print-manager KCM,
i.e., the Printer tab in Plasma System Settings. But there is no setting
for margins there. And of course not for "Force rasterization" which is
an Okular-specific setting.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 905147]

2020-04-12 Thread 4-a-g
Sorry, it seems that the issue isn't resolved.
Okular doesn't save the margins values nor the "Force rasterization" checkbox.
If I try to set the values as default, the print tool ignores them while a 
command-line lp works :
lpoptions -p Zebra -o page-bottom=0 -o page-left=0 -o page-right=0 -o 
page-top=0 -o fitplot

Kubuntu 19.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
Qt Version: 5.12.4

Quite the same as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404510 or 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383697
So I tried with Kate and the values are saved in katerc : 
[Kate Print Settings][Margins]
bottom=0
left=0
right=0
top=0

Strangely I just migrated from Kubuntu 14.04 (KDE 4.13) to Kubuntu 19.04
(KDE 5.62) and I didn't face this issue on the previous computer.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 905147]

2018-06-10 Thread Michael Weghorn
The issue that a printer's default CUPS options are not properly
initialized in the print dialog has been fixed upstream in Qt now, along
with several other improvements of the Qt print dialog.

Most of the improvements will be contained in Qt version 5.11 already
(s. [1] for more details), while the proper initialization of the duplex
option -- which is mentioned in this bug report pretty often -- will be
implemented in Qt 5.12 (s. [2]).

I therefore suggest to close this bug as RESOLVED UPSTREAM - and will do
so soon unless any objections are brought up here in the meantime.

  For Oneiric I've made a patched version in a PPA of mine that you

  doesn't take any effort at all to implement. You can find it here:

  So I hope this makes it into Precise...

[Touch-packages] [Bug 905147]

Patch to initialise Qt printer dialog with CUPS settings

There is a Qt code review, https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/32127/,
with a patch for initialising the Qt printer dialog with all the CUPS
settings, including default printer, duplex mode and greyscale/colour.
This worked for me with Qt 4.8.6.

I attach a patch file obtained from this code review.

Title:
  QPrinterDialog ignores default settings from CUPS

Status in Qt:
  Unknown
Status in qt4-x11 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  KDE as well as many QT-Applications use QPrinterDialog as their
  printing dialog. Thing is: This dialog ignores default settings
  defined in CUPS - it doesn't even remember that last settings that
  were chosen. I know this is a QT issue but I kindly ask you not to
  close this bug as upstream and here's why:

  1. This bug has been around for years now - the first report to Nokia about 
was back in 2008 if I recall correctly. 
  2. A user doesn't know and doesn't care about whose fault it is. He just 
knows, that he set his printer settings to default to duplex in CUPS and that 
his QT applications don't print duplex. At first he might shrug and set duplex 
in the dialog. Next time the setting is back to simplex. The same is true for 
other options like collate and color settings. It's just a huge usability 
issue. 
  3. The fix below has been adopted by other major distributions for quite some 
time now. It works for duplex, collate and color settings. 
  4. It saves lots and lots of trees!

  I think it does not work for paper size and in general it doesn't fix
  the problem that QT can't remember the settings you choose in the
  print dialog. The paper size may be read from the configured defaults
  easily, too, but settings saving may be a bit harder. However, you'd
  implement this fix, you'd do something VERY good for Ubuntu -
  especially since 12.04 is meant to be an LTS release! If you could
  even improve the fix that would be huge!

  Here's the fix from the KDE bug tracker:
