Because they aren't.

KDE 4 will *never* restore all the missing functionality from KDE 3. Ever. 
Forget it.

KDE 4 will continue to add features, some of which were present in KDE 3, some 
of which are new. But in the end, KDE 4 will never reach 100% parity with KDE 
3 in terms of features. Some features will not come back.

Now, in the specific case of printing, it's both because Qt printing isn't up 
to par and because it's an area with less interest.

If you feel this area is a problem, open up your preferred IDE and start 
coding.
