+ The class PrintStyle implements the abstract interface to the
+ PrintingWizards style objects.
+ To implement a print style, derive from this class and read
+ the information in printingwizard.h to see how this two pieces
+ work together. Basically, the print style gets the contacts it
+ is supposed to print from the PrintingWizard is will not
+ change this set - neither its content nor its order.
+ To register your new style in the printing wizard, you need to
+ define a PrintStyleFactory that handles how your objects are
+ created and deleted. See the existing print styles for
+ examples.
+ A print style should have a preview image that gives the user
+ a basic impression on how it will look. Add this image to the
+ printing folder (right here :-), and edit Makefile.am to have
+ it installed along with kaddressbook. Load it using
+ setPreview(QString).
+ Your print style is supposed to add its options as pages to
+ the printing wizard. The method wizard() gives you a pointer
+ to the wizard object.
