OK, I have made some experiments and I will attach some results. In short, things are better with the patch, but there is still room for improvement. 

Moreover, I am disturbed by differences between the behaviors of the B&W printing tool and the "differentiate between curves" tool. Attached are 2 .ps files, one generated by printing in monochrome, with line width an point style properties selected for cycling (in that order) and max width = 3. The second file (print_std.ps) has been generated by first setting all curves to black, then using the differentiate tool with the same option. As you will notice, the results are significantly different. It would be much better if both tools were somehow merged, one being a one-shot call (from the tools menu), the other one change/print/revert. By the way, I prefer the result of the "differentiate" tool...

The third file I have attached is the "real" output, as exported to a graphics file. It's quite close to the corresponding .ps, but there are subtle differences.

Finally, I must admit that I have not investigated cases with more than one plot. From one of your previous comments, it may have an influence but I don't have enough time to try it out right now :-(

Thanks for your efforts, I think we really need to make printing perfect again to give kst that high-profile shine it deserves. And it's getting close...
