As I implemented the current scaled print function, I looked often at the 
specialities of the EPS export.

>From theory ( I don't have enough time to do further evaluation at the 
moment ):
+ the low resolution which is used for the export could cause this deformation
   -> try to replace the following line
    in function: void UMLView::printToFile(QString filename,bool isEPS):
 OLD:  QPrinter *printer = new QPrinter(QPrinter::PrinterResolution);
 NEW: QPrinter *printer = new QPrinter(QPrinter::HighResolution);
 ==>> the current resolution of just 72dpi might cause this unwanted change
 ( another possible resolution might be: QPrinter::ScreenResolution , but this
    is not as good as HighResolution)

+ the gray scale mode can be avoided by the insertion of the following line
   after the line before ( the default color mode is gray scale ):
 printer->setColorMode( Color );


BOTH CHANGES IN umlview.cpp

Hope this helps,
