[Portland] printing?

[Bastian, Waldo]

I have outlined the ideas that I have around this topic on
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2061

Tom Whiple over here at Intel will be helping me getting this of the
ground over the summer. It would be great if you could provide input to
the Wiki in terms of any constraints/requirements that Inkspace would
have in this regard.
