            Bug ID: 371831
           Summary: Digikam 5 missing Printer Driver Properties in Image
                    Printing Dialog
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: ImageEditor-Print

Created attachment 101883

Image Printing in Digikam 4 vs Digikam 5.

I have recently switched to DigiKam 5.1 (and updated to 5.2) and have been
quite happy so far. Unfortunately, however, I now found that DigiKam 5 doesn't
seem to have all features of version 4 implemented yet.

In particular, I'm missing a way to access the printer driver properties, when
printing - no matter, if I'm using "Print Image" in the Image Editor or the
KIPI-Plugin "Print Images".

I added an attachement to illustrate the problem: In version 4 (top) the
"Properties" button leads me to a dialog, where I can access a tab for
"Advanced" settings. This contains the printer driver settings and this is what
I'm looking for. In version 5 (bottom) this option is missing. (By the way: The
tab "Job Options" are merely a way to schedule a print job, set a priority
etc.)

What am I missing? Do I need to install an additional plugin? Or hasn't this
been implemented yet?

Thanks in advance.

You talk about Image editor printing tool AND the kipi plugins Print assistant.

This is 2 different ways to access to print functions.

Do you have the same problem with both ?

Don't forget that PRint support is managed by Qt framework. With DK 4, we use
Qt4, with DK 5, we use Qt5. Qt5 has really changed compared to Qt4

Yes, I have the same problem with all print functions. Do I have to install
anything else (like another Qt library) to make this work in Qt5?

Typically no. All is included in Qt5::Print framework as well.

Do you have the same problem with gwenview provided with Plasma5 desktop (not
the Gwenview for KDE4 of course) ?

Typically, all Qt5 application that provide printing support in fact.

Thanks for your help.

I just installed gwenview (based on Qt 5.5.1) for testing this. Yes, indeed, I
do have the same problem there. What does that mean for my system?

This want mean that the problem is located certainly in Qt5::Print framework,
not in client application source code.

Report this problem as UPSTREAM in your Linux distro bugzilla, which will
certainly report this to Qt team.

I just searched for this issue and found this thread:
http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2015-September/018694.html

So, sorry for posting this problem here. It seems, this has been a
long-standing issue in Qt5. And it seems, nothing has changed at since
September 2015. As it is, this will probably keep me from using the new Digikam
5. What a shame.

Thanks for your help.
