I tried your receipt and I can't confirm your report.

I downloaded the photo you indicate, I opened it in gwenview and printed to a PDF, with preview. The preview indeed shows white stripes, at 100%, then randomly at other zoom levels (not at 125%, not at 150%, then yes at 200%, then no at 150%, then yes at 125%, then no at 100%).I printed the image to pdf then opened the resulted file with kpdf, acroread and gv and can't view any white stripes. I printed (from gwenview, not from pdf) to KDE's Ricoh printer and no white stripe appears.

So, once again, it is my conviction that what you observe is a flaw in the old and unmaintained kghostview part used by KDEPrint for previews. Thus this problem should probably be reported to kghostview. KDEPrint will most probably use kpdf (okular) part for previewing in future versions. kghostview will be deprecated (because of its slowness mostly, and because of problems like the one you experience).

Since I can't reproduce your problem (at least in what concerns printing and own KDEPrint code), I am inclined to merge this bug report with the similar others and close them as "WORKSFORME" or to transfer it to kghostview.

I will wait, before doing this, more details from Bernie.

Thanks
