Bug#229078: /usr/bin/kwrite: printout cut off on left and right
Package: kate
Version: 4:3.1.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/kwrite
Using the Konqueror file browser I clicked on a text file and it
brought it up in KWrite. I printed it, requesting 2-up printing. I
left the default paper size, US Letter.
The resulting printout was cut off by several characters on the left
and the right. The left hand side affected the banner and the text of
the file; the right hand side I only know about because some of the
banner was cut off.
In both cases there was some white space showing on the paper in the
margin, so possibly there are some printer limits that didn't make it
all the way back through the different printing systems.
Printer is an HP LaserJet 4100N, reached via CUPS, which is at version
1.1.20candidate6-6. This is a mostly testing system, with KDE pulled
in from unstable (awhile ago; I've not been tracking unstable).
I suppose the real problem is not KWrite but something underneath;
feel free to reclassify as appropriate. I don't know what component
is causing the problem, so I'm reporting the symptom.
This is a major usability issue. By the way, I printed the file from
emacs without incident.
