Not sure that anything will be fixed with release 4 concerning  
printing under Linux.
It seems that Linux (as well as text field or correcting some  
longstanding bugs) is not a priority.
Example: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7017 is  
still in an unconfirmed state since 2008-08-24.
I would be very glad if I was wrong and see something new soon.
