I'd say they address only the latter (but printer-specific margins 
should already be set automatically by the system's printing framework, 
e.g. on Linux by CUPS and the printer drivers). Unfortunately, during 
the switch from KDE 3 to KDE 4 some functionality of KDE's printing 
framework (like changing the page margins) was lost. I suggest 
submitting a feature request for this (resp. voting for a probably 
already existing feature request).
