There is no such things as "responsibles". This is a public mailinglist for 
developers by developers.

If there is a question out of my field of experience another one might still 
know it. However since the list gets increasingly abused for user support 
questions especially the core developers who have less time do read this list 
only infrequently.

I've looked through your two postings and that's my take on it:

- regarding the CUPS printing: in case you are using the KPrinter API it 
should list the remote printers assuming that the CUPS setup is correct. Do 
the remote printers show up in the local CUPS server's web interface?

- regarding the line spacing: since drawing is done through the QPainter API, 
it might be something you can do there, e.g. use the rectancle output 
parameter of drawText to determine the actual bounding rect. Maybe something 
in QFont can be set to achieve the line spacing.

Especially if you are using the KDE printing API you might reach respective 
experts more easily on the kde-print mailinglist.
In case you are just using only Qt APIs, some other developer on the community 
site qtcentre.org or on the at-interest mailinglist might have some ideas.

Cheers,
Kevin
