Well, this is not "Qt" fault per se, it happens because of this:
"On Windows and Mac OS X, the native print dialog is used, which means that
some QWidget<http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qwidget.html>and
QDialog <http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qdialog.html>properties
set on the dialog won't be respected. The native print dialog on
Mac OS X does not support setting printer options, i.e.
setOptions<http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qprintdialog.html#options-prop>()
and setOption<http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qprintdialog.html#setOption>()
have no effect."

I'm talking with the marble guys those days to make it easyer to compile
libmarblewidget on non-unix based systems.
