           Summary: Margin settings are ignored unless Printer Properties
                    dialog is opened first
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: print-dialog
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

When printing (to PDF or PostScript; I haven't tested this with an actual
printer as I don't have one), the margin settings are ignored, and KDE uses
ridiculously small margins.  However, if, before printing, you click on the
"Properties" button next to the selected printer, a dialog will pop up allowing
you to adjust the margins.  Just click on "OK" or "Cancel" (there's no need to
actually change any settings); then when you print the margin settings will be
used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File->Print
2. Printer->Name->Print to File (PDF) or Printer->Name->Print to File
(Postscript)
3. Print

Actual Results:  
4. The output file has very narrow margins, regardless of what the actual
margin settings were.

Expected Results:  
4. The output file should have had the same margins specified in the Printer's
Properties dialog.

To work around, insert the following steps:

2a. Properties
2b. Cancel
