Bug#704451: okular: Printing feature in a mess

[mourad <newbeewan@nativobject.net>]

Package: okular
Version: 4:4.8.4-3+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For a long time, Okular is very good to display documents, but it is a piece of
shit for printing !

I'm using it since Kde 4.3 and this is not going better for printing.

My reason are :

First
 - okular saves the last printing parameters, it is completly useless, when I
print some lanscape for 1 document, I don't want to print the next one
(sometime days after !) with the same parameters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It should take back every time the default printer parameters !

Second
 - okular doesn't take care about printing area, lot's of pdf file I print are
to big for the pinting area so okular cut some parts when printing !
Is it possible to have the same feature as acrobat reader to ajust document to
printing area ?

Third
 - okular doesn't take care about the real format of the original PDF... It
tries to print in full format some landscape in portrait with cutting the half
of the page without any warning...

Fourth (feature request)
 - okular could show, as lots of software, a mini "print preview" as
libreoffice, chromium, Acrobat reader.

Thanks for reading and taking care about that !

Regards
Mourad
