I've been using GLabels for over a year for business cards, it's a very capable app for simple layout. However, I haven't found any way to properly print unless I run it under Gnome. When printing under KDE it refuses to use the kprinter system, unlike most other gnome and non-KDE apps I use.
Although all the CUPS printers (including all the instances configured from KDE for different print settings) show up in GLabels print configuration settings, it doesn't matter which one I select and instead always prints in draft quality. I have all of the Gnome libraries installed, and other Gnome apps I've tried don't have this printing problem under KDE.
Because of this, I can't print directly from GLabels in high-quality. I workaround this by printing to a PDF and using another app to print the PDF, it's annoying. If anybody knows of a better solution, please mention it!
