Note that these "text margins" also affect direct image printing (if you
send JPG, PNG, TIFF directly to CUPS, with kprinter, lp, lpr, xpp, ...
Therefore I have modified the options dialog of XPP a little bit to
express that the margins are not only for text. They do not have any
influence on PDF or PostScript printing. But the "fitplot" option (which
is probably still on the HPGL tab) influences also PDF (I have also
changed XPP therefore).
Cristian, can you do the necessary UI changes in kprinter? Thanks.
