Hi Gaurav, First, I want to make clear: I know nothing about printing at all, either in Qt or in general. But I did a quick archive search and found the following: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2020-May/039584.html

I might be misunderstanding his reply, but Lars seemed to suggest that he would have preferred CDB-related changes to live inside qtbase/src/printsupport rather than an add-on plugin. > Just to summarize briefly, implementing CPD support directly in the > print dialog would mean that the Qt team wouldn't have to worry about > any future CUPS changes, or any other print backends for that matter, as > CPD will handle them all instead. > > It would be really helpful if you could share your views on this and > give your suggestions. Whatever path you end up taking, I wish you good luck and a successful project!
