Of course... (*)

Fineprint also can't print files if they aren't on the same computer as
Fineprint is.

(*) Oh waaaiiit..... Have you ever tried to open a file in kprinter, which

Correct.

What you are asking for now is different from what you reported initially.
Your initially reported requirement is perfectly implemented already in
KDEPrint. The example I gave went even further, and explained how you can
do even *more* than you wanted.

What you want *now* is a sort of "Page Layouting and Impositioning Software".
You want to select individual or several pages from various document sources,
and be able to re-arrange them freely as you like.

This is way beyond the scope of KDEPrint. It would be a completely new
application. (I'd very much like to see such an application too, BTW)

I am not sure if it is a good way to leave this wishlist item open at this
place. If you manage to open a separate, prominent wishlist item, I'd vote
for it... ;-)

For the time being, I leave it here....
