The actual function that should be called on KPrinter is
preparePrinting(). This function is triggered when you
contruct a QPainter on it. The problem is that this
function is protected, so you don't have access to it. The
easiest way in your case is then to inherit from KPrinter
and provide an access to this function, like:

class MyPrinter : public KPrinter
{
public:
     void doPreparePrinting() { preparePrinting(); }
}

and then in your code:

if (kprinter.setup())
{
    printer.doPreparePrinting();
    /* now page size should be correct */
}
