Ubuntu introduced a separate, virtual PDF-printer in Gutsy Tribe 5 (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe5). Kubuntu also used it since Gutsy, together with KDE 3.5.x, that is before Qt4 was used. So while Qt4 may provide a fake PDF-printer, so does Ubuntu.

I haven't checked (because I don't know how), whether Kubuntu Intrepid uses the Qt4 printer or the Ubuntu-one, however I suspect the latter, since a folder ~/PDF is created. This folder was introduced in the default settings of Gutsy because of the then new virual PDF printer, which would print to ~/PDF by default.

In this case it would be worthwhile to check, whether Ubuntu's printer also causes problems.

Regarding the importance, I think it should be set to "minor", since (in my opinion) "wishlist" only applies to features which are missing, not to those which have been disabled on purpose due to problems.

In any case, thank you for the explanantion.
