Salut Laurent.

So to give you the right feedback. The problem is not so much about kmail or
the printer-driver but seems to lie within the way the program addresses the
printer. To be clear: the named Lexmark 543dn has a firmware setting that was
on "US letter". So although the driver should have overruled the printer
firmware, this did not happen when printing from Kmail. But it worked  for
Okular, did work to some parts in Libreoffice. Once found out about the
existence of this setting in the internal firmware, I did change the default to
A4 and now the printouts are perfect. 
I cannot know of course if this was a wanted...or unwanted behaviour. It was
just FYI so you are informed and anybody having this issue may look if
he/she/it has also a setting hidden in the firmware (which will be the case for
Ethernet enabled printers, I suppose). 
Thank you Laurent for your kindness to take the time to answer. Sorry for not
having updated this report beforehand. I simply forgot. 

BTW that was with version KMAIL for 4.14.4 and later. So a very recent built.
And it was also true for the latest and greatest 4.14.6. 
So again: problems with margins: user will have to look at the firmware first
as it may NOT be overruled by the driver settings, depending on the case.
