KWord-1.6 does it, at least.

    // Use page list specified in kdeprint dialogbox
    QValueList<int> pageList = printer->pageList();
[...]
    QValueList<int>::Iterator it = pageList.begin();
    for ( ; it != pageList.end(); ++it )
    {

You wouldn't want a 100-pages document to print all 100 into QPainter just to
print the 2nd page, would you? ;)
