I wouldn't say entirely unloved, just an extremely demanding mistress... :-)
The big thing with printing right now is trying to get all the features we
need (like odd/even pages and persistent settings) built into the Qt print
system and dialog, which is now more likely with their moving to a more open
development model. Trying to sort that will be my summer project, and anyone
able to help will be welcome, especially anyone with Mac or Windows printing
expertise as I have to solve cross-platform issues before I can push my
patches upstream.
The printer admin stuff is in good hands now with the underlying engine a
cross-distro project between Red Hat, Mandriva, Ubuntu and others, with
Kubuntu maintaining the KDE front-ends.
Which leaves the KDE3 print utilities like kprinter and kdeprintfax. These
are things I just don't have time to work on at all and really are up for
grabs.
John.
