|  Looking at the code printing is seriously fucked up and I don't think
| _any_ multi-page printjob comes out ok from kmail or konqueror.

There are also some problems with _font-mapping_ during printing process.
For example, check this URL (it's web site of well-known business newspaper, 
called Kommersant)
http://www.kommersant.ru/lenta.html?id=43498
and try to print it.
I get empty spaces instead of Cyrillic (Russian) letters when page is printed.
To be far, I took some extra effort and rebooted to Widnows 98, and tested 
with MS IE6 and NS6.
MS IE6 from Windows 2000 prints page ok, from my Win98 I get ???? instead of 
Cyrillic. Bahh!
In Nestcape6 - text printed ok, but... I get only one page, insatead of 3 
pages.
 Finally I looked into HTML.
And found a reason for such strange behavior (with Konq, at least):

browser.js, included into every page on that site
------------------
if ((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1))
document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/mac.css' type='text/css'>");

if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Win') != -1)
{
	if (navigator.appName.indexOf('Netscape') != -1)
	{
	document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/nn.css' type='text/css'>");
	}
	else
	{
	document.write("<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/ie.css' type='text/css'>");
	}
}
------------------
So, Konqueror gets *no* CSS stylesheet at all, and indeed has problems with 
selection of correct fonts.

Faking userAgent as MS IE 5.0/Windows does the trick - *you can print that 
page*!
Sounds interesting, no?..
