The print dialog is now the one from Qt, because the old kdeprint stuff was
really horribly broken at the KDE 4.0 release time (nobody had done the
necessary work to port it all to KDE 4) and Qt's printing functionality has
improved a lot over Qt 3, so a decision was made to go with Qt's
functionality. Since 4.0, work has been done on improving Qt's printing
functionality as much as possible and on replacing other parts of the old
kdeprint (see the work on system-config-printer-kde and the associated
printer-applet). Unfortunately, Qt 4's print dialog still doesn't support
everything KDE 3's print dialog did.
