Hey Millian,

Your changes are not platform-specific, so the webkit-dev list might
be a better venue. For printing tests, check out the layout tests in
LayoutTests/printing. The approach I would take is to create bugs for
all the patches and issues you have at http://bugs.webkit.org and CC
people who have been doing work on printing (you can take a look at
the history of the files you've changed).

Thanks for your work!
