[Bug 41040] Should be easier to choose printing mode (draft/normal/photo, ...)

[Loic Pefferkorn]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Wishlist
       Priority: (none set)
     Assignee: Kubuntu Team
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Maybe i've missed something, but i find choosing a print mode a little
bit unfriendly with kde print.

1. Install a printer (mine is hp psc 1350)
2. Open in konqueror something to print (web page, picture, ...)
3. Open the print dialog with file->print...
4. Now I can print in "normal mode" (300dpi), no way to quickly select  draft  or photo mode.

To print in draft mode, i have to do the following extras steps:

1. Click on the "properties" button right to the printer list
2. Click on "driver configuration" tab
3. Select a "printout mode" from the general's list item which contains draft
4. Click "save" button
5. Click on "print" button

I think user should be able to choose print mode on the first kde print
dialog, if nothing is selected, use driver default print mode ("normal"
for me, which is a good default value)

** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Normal => Wishlist
