Initial Package Version: 3.2.0
Origin: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73041
Upstream status: this is the official fix
Description: Fix the problem "Konqueror and Kmail hang on printing".
To reproduce: try printing anything to a CUPS printer. The problem manifests
itself only with Qt 3.3.0

Comments from the developers:

This little test case gives 756.0 with qt 3.2 and 0 with qt-copy 
QString f("756\""); 
qDebug("f %f", f.toFloat()); 

This leads to the unfortunate suprise that cups printers are labeled 
to have 0 points high pages - which gives khtml a hard time trying to 
find the right number of pages
