I have seen this bug on kde 3.5., too. (Suse 9.3 + supplementary kde 3.5.2)
Resolution is roughly 1mm!

On the other hand the same kipi-plugins version (1.0-RC1) on my own suse 10 box (kde 3.5.2) produces sharp outputs. On the other hand, under suse 10 the resolution probably is way too high: a simple 9cm*13cm printout results in a ~52MByte print-file. With this size, ghostscript (or cups) needs extremely much time until the printing starts. A resonable size of the print file qould be 4.7MByte, not 52 MByte! (3" * 30ppi * 3.5"*300ppi * 3 colors = 4.7MByte)

Some time ago I was affected by the old "lowresolution printing" bug, now I'm affected by this "sometimes print with extremely low resolution, sometimes print with extremely high resolution" bug. Is there really no modern kde-program which can print images?

I don't know what the print wizard does, but should'nt it just do
1. crop (should be optional!!)
2. bicubic scale to minimum(printer resolution, 400ppi)
3. unsharp mask
4. layout
5. convert to PS
6. send to KDE print framework
