--- Comment #5 from stakanov at freenet.de ---
I have the same problem here restricted to Kmail. 
This is KDE 4.14.2 with Kmail2 4.14.2 from the repos Opensuse KDE stable
current vor opensuse 13.1
The printer is a Lexmark, color laser printer C543dn. The printerdriver is
openprinting printerdriver (which is to be taken at the site of Lexmark because
not included in the packages of opensuse.
The problem is somehow different for KDE general printing setting and for
Kmail. 
The kmail printing is crippled, it is not possible to set reasonable printing
margins and the text is printed "rasor blade close" to the edge of the paper
(which looks odd). The upper title of the email is cut o a half, because of the
margins that are set too straigt to respect printing limits. When set by hand
they are not memorized even if asked for, the next print is wrong again (may be
a second bug). 
In the KDE pinting settings when having adjusted all according to the paper and
printer, choosing poscript as language (pdf setting screw it all up) then the
printing of the testpage from the KDE pinter setting page is correct in front
By using double sided printing on the "long edge" it is cut to the left page
margin (the frame is cut because too close to the margin. So:
even this setting is somehow broken. Printing to PDF works, printing from
Ocular works very well, printing from Libreoffice works after explicitly
setting the page margins and using postcript as languae, and libreoffice
(contrary to kmail) does remember the settings.

Printing mail is common. I see this as a major bug toghether with the fact that
one cannot print decripted messages at all (empty page) (see bug Bug 337668 -
kmail fails to print encrypted messages 4.13.3 which is a regression of a bug
from KDE 4.7 -  286615 (Encrypted email not decrypted in-time for printing )
marked wrongly as closed an affectig also mime encrypted pages. So in short:
kmail printing is broken be it encrypted or unencrypted.
