12 Hello,
13
14 I had a very similar problem to this in kde3.5 (I am not using kde4).
15 I don't seem to have kept a written record, and I don't have direct
16 access to a kde machine, but please test this idea. It is very
17 strange.

19 Open kedit, and go under the printing preferences and find something
20 like "print layout" which gives you a landscape or portrait. Toggle
21 this to whichever one it is not. Try printing again.

23 This is very quaint, and the part that bothered me the most about it
24 was that, according to my tests and memory:
25 1) this controls printing style for all users (including root)
26 2) this controls printing style outside of kde
27
28 See if this can help you.
