yeah, i guess we need to rewrite it almost entirely and only use
print.c and the GTK build for reference..
i've been reading this today:
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/printing.html

seems that once we have a QPrinter it can be associated with a
QPainter and the QGraphicsView for the profile can be render()-ed to
it.
but not much on the best approaches for text and table layouts and the
QPrintDialog, yet.
