[kde-linux] KWrite/printer problem

Running Fedora 10, KDE 4.1.2
Printer EPSON C-62 ink-jet, LP0

Hope someone can help me with a problem I just noticed.

When I print a text file of more than one page ,
the last line of each page is missing, as well as the footer.

I have been using KWrite with this printer since RedHat 9 with
no problems.
KWrite and the printer have all default settings.

To test, I created a text file consistig of "This is line: 1","This is line: 2"
etc, for a total of 69 lines.

Fonts are default at Monospace/Regular/10

Initially it would print the default header, and 52 lines (no footer)
on page 1, Page two would start with the header and line 54.
(line 53 missing)

There is nothing in KWrite Settings->'Configure editor' dealing with
margins. If I do Ctrl/P->'Printer Properties', and set top and bottom margins, 
the printing is fine but the settings are not retained between printings.

If I go to Administration->printing->printer->properties I can set margins 
that are preserved, but the bottom margin is ignored. I set it to 100 points
and the last line (52) is still printed at the bottom of the page and line 53
and footers are missing.

Since Kedit seems to be missing in this release, I have no editor
(except vi and openoffice) to print text files, program listings, etc.
(not convenient).

Really getting bummed with this release of Fedora and KDE.

Thanks for any help,
Regards,
Jim Phelps
