First of all I would like to thank you for the great work you are doing.

We have to watch our namespaces a bit so maybe optionset.h could be renamed 
to kprintoptionset.h? I have installed some additional header files in 
$KDEDIR/include/kdeprint. They were needed by the stuff that I put in kdebase.

Also, maybe everything that is outside the KPrinter class could be wrapped in 
a KPrint namespace??

Cheers,
Waldo
