Hi,

Here are a few comments and the fixes you will get with revision #5170:

- You must reset the FirstPage and LastPage properties before calling 
Print() on each PDF page. Otherwise nothing is printed: it tries to 
always print the page one, whereas the Printer object is configured to 
print pages 15-19.

- Because of the previous mistake, a bug in gb.qt4 comes: the printer 
object was not reset to an inactive state. Fixed!

- Another fix in gb.gtk: FirstPage and LastPage now should correctly 
always return zero if all pages must be printed.

- As for the last problem with 'from' being higher than 'to'. This is 
handled by the toolkit, and I don't see why it should be a problem if 
when 'from' is greater than 'to', then 'to' is ignored and only the 
'from' page is printed. To print all pages, you just have to set 
FirstPage to zero.
