Ok, it looks like a printer problem. The printing system of KDE/Qt outputs 
allways in a postscript format, so there should no differences in printing to 
file or printer exist. 
If your printer system does not support the printing of the postscript file 
you may have some trouble. In this case try to print some graphics from 
another KDE or Qt program. What kind of distribution do you use.
