I think the real problem is that KPrinter and friends not allowing custom
Postscript generators.
If this wasn't so, you could plugin your own Postscript generator.
This alone would rather make WYSIWIG work rather problematic, because your
print output would become more capable than your screen output, because
screen could only handley by QPainter.
KPainter tries to solve this problem by making a more capable API available
for screen and print.
