It's due to how konqueror does printing. Basically it prints using
normal fonts on a virtual page which is then scaled to fit the
physical page and avoid lateral clipping. Depending on the web
page printed, it can happen that the required width is larger than
the physical page and the printed result is scaled down. This
can happen for example on pages with large banners. This is out
of the control of kdeprint.
