Oh wow, nice work!

Yeah, I noticed that. It seems to cause the printing dialog not to be
shown a second time. That is, it only lets you print once (probably as a
measure to spare ink ;)

This is the message I get the second time I try to print:

(qreator:857): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_print_operation_run: assertion
`op->priv->status == GTK_PRINT_STATUS_INITIAL' failed

Let's go ahead with what you have, I believe that will be the answer to
the AU question, so you can even add yours there :)

I agree with you, I like printer-printing-symbolic much much better, but
I don't think we can use it because of the green bit. As I've said
before, I don't mind colour, but only when we intendedly want to
highlight something.

The issue with the 'printer-symbolic' icon is that due to its 2 colours
looks blurry, and it's too small in proportion to the other icons.
However, I cannot see any better one to use :(

Moving the position one to the left (i.e. leaving the Edit button as the
last in the row) improves things visually a bit, I think, but it's still
not perfect.

I haven't thought about it to be honest, but having printed a PDF, I
think the default size looks good already.

Cheers,
David.
