QMacPrintEngine and QCoreGraphicsPaintEngine are class names from Qt 4. For Qt 5 we adopted the "QCocoa" prefix - hence the mismatch. I would like to keep "QCoreGraphicsPaintEngine", which describes exactly what it is (I guess the same can be said for "QPdfPrintEngine"). QMacPrintEngine can be renamed to QCocoaPrintEngine.
