Created attachment 471254 [details] [ e.g. ] emerge --info kate >> emerge--info--kate.txt Since upgrade of QT -> 5.7.1 and KDE-Apps -> 17.04, KDE applications only show "Print to PDF", albeit other ( Laser | Ink | FAX) printers are still configured in CUPS and work perfectly for non-KDE applications. Please, let me know which addition information would be helpful.
Additional Information: I'm working x11-wm/awesome-4.1:0 .
I've had the same problem too since at least 16.12.x
# kcmshell5 --list | grep kcm_printer_manager # # equery depends =kde-apps/print-manager-17.04.0 # # grep -R -i "print-manager" /usr/portage/kde-apps/*/*.ebuild | grep "17.04" /usr/portage/kde-apps/kdeutils-meta/kdeutils-meta-17.04.0.ebuild: cups? ( $(add_kdeapps_dep print-manager) ) . . . SOLUTION : . . . Adding "cups" to USE="..." in /etc/portage/make.conf . . . WORKSFORME.
CAUSATION: . . . I'm running on profile default/linux/amd64/13.0 . . . . This problem probably will not occur on "desktop" profiles . . . ( --> /usr/portage/profiles/targets/desktop/make.defaults: . . . ( --> USE="... cups ...") Amongst others, affected packages were: . . . x11-libs/gtk+ . . . dev-qt/qtgui . . . dev-qt/qtprintsupport In order to turn on CUPS printing support, e.g. changing to IUSE="+cups ..." in /usr/portage/kde-apps/kdeutils-meta/kdeutils-meta-17.04.0.ebuild etc. seems not to be sufficient: without the global USE="cups" in make.conf, dev-qt/qtprintsupport would still be built with USE="-cups". @ Gentoo KDE team : Leaving this open for you a) to avoid duplicates in near future b) for you to decide if any additional dependency or warning should be applied. Please, feel free to close as soon as you see fit. Thanks.
If you disable cups, you don't have printing support. Not really anything to do here. @kensington: You don't have a different issue than disabled cups, by chance?

POINT: KDE printer selection and printing _had_ worked _without_ explicitly setting USE=cups" before: (In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #0) > Since upgrade of QT -> 5.7.1 and KDE-Apps -> 17.04, ... From [ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/de#Profil ] : "Choosing an appropriate profile, although _not_ required, ..." Deliberately I avoided to call this a regression.

Sorry, wording: If it is not enabled. The whole point of not using a desktop profile is that you figure that stuff out for yourself.

You are not the only person involved in this bug.
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #7) > > > Since upgrade of QT -> 5.7.1 and KDE-Apps -> 17.04, ... > Nothing has changed between those versions. Sure. Without question. I'm really deeply sorry - be assured I will never ever bother Gentoo_KDE again.
(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #8) > I'm really deeply sorry - > be assured I will never ever bother Gentoo_KDE again. I don't understand that response. Sometimes the cause of a bug is on your end, pointing that out is not meant as any kind of humiliation. It is not like your bug was shot down without explanation, so please appreciate the time we *do* take to look into your issue. It is a simple fact that there has been no change with regards to the cups USE flag in KDE meta ebuilds. You have shown to know how to grep through ebuilds, so you have all the power to compare the content of kdeutils-meta-16.12.3 with kdeutils-meta-17.04.0, and additionally all the history is laid out in git. Please continue to report bugs, your perseverance to analyze and find patterns with them is much appreciated, but also accept that my responses are short and to the point.
Closing this bug after checking back that comment #2 was caused by the same issue.
