The KDE print manager has made PPD options disappear, so device-specific settings such as duplexing and econo-mode cannot be accessed from a print dialog for applications which depend on it, such as kde-apps/okular. Is there a Gentoo workaround for this problem? Because this worked in KDE 4. Upstream appears to be wholly uninterested in fixing this. See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-54464 for an example.

Created attachment 513132 [details] qtprintsupport-5.9.3-advancedprint.tar.xz Untested with a real print job, but the advanced tab is there.
Hi there. Thanks for file. Are these patches that have already been applied in qtprintsupport-5.9.3, or which need to be applied?
They're almost certainly too big to be part of an ebuild, you'll have to apply them yourself.

How would that be handled in Gentoo, then, if they are too big to be part of an ebuild? Do we wait until upstream integrates them in a release? We might be waiting a long time...
See also $summary... these patches are taken from 5.11 branch.
This is fixed in 5.11 which is currently scheduled for release by upstream at the end of May. The patchset is too significant IMO to backport.

Sturmlechner) and using it as user-applied patches (in directory /etc/portage/patches/dev-qt/qtprintsupport) works as a charm (at least with latest version 5.9.4).
