Printing simply doesn't work very well.  KDE blames this on Qt, but 
depending on Qt for printing has turned out to be a serious mistake.

Magnification only goes to 400% which is not enough for some uses.

I didn't see any problems with the font rendering that PL mentioned.  Is 
it possible that the PDF he is viewing contains bit mapped fonts?  A 
proper PDF doesn't need to contain fonts at all, but doing this doesn't 
seem to be a simple thing.  If these are PDFs that you created, the 
problem is probably that you have "Enable Font embedding" checked on the 
Printer page in "qtconfig"; uncheck it and see if things improve.
