Hi there,

I got so desperate because of this bug that I 've done a clean install of OpenSuse 10.1, without any extra software or alterations in configuration. Immediately after the installation process I've followed the same procedure as above and printed to PDF file (again with default settings), with preview on. Again the lines show up!! I got so frustrated that I investigated a little further:
My photos are generally 8 or 10 megapixels.
-If I print a photo (windmill) in full color the lines show up in the preview (see screenshots following this comment)
-If I print the same phote in greyscale (kprinter dialogue --> properties --> greyscale, horizontal lines still show up but in another pattern

- Now if I reduce the size of the photo a quarter using gwenview --> menu plugins --> resize image (so from 2592x3872 to 1296x1936) and then print it, the image looks great without any white line in it.
