Does the print dialog have the correct defaults in "Properties"?
Specifically, does it honor the system defaults for Paper Size and
dimension units?  If you change these, or the margins, are they
remembered or is there a way to save them?  Are the margins inactivated
when they have no effect?

Well, you might not have a laptop.  But, if things are configurable,
they should work, or at least not cause a crash.

There is a difference between being negative and being realistic.  Sorry 
to rain on your parade but I am just being realistic when I say that 
KDE-4 still needs considerable work.  And I am rather disappointed in Qt 
which is supposedly a commercial product at release 4.4.x.  The Trolls 
still don't seem to understand that PS printing has no resolution.
