Bug 288166

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

The problems begins to start if you need to print something more complicated than just simple text or a pdf document. When using Gwenview it is not possible to automatically rotate the image, it always print it with white stripes on the sides or even cuts the picture if it is not match the page orientation, "fit image to page size" option is not works properly too, and more and more.

Print range options are not allow to specify the pages numbers user need to print, it only allow to set up the range.

The duplex printing options are not applied at all, the same with the color mode.

In printer properties you can notice margins, it's the most annoying options here — they don't remember my choice and appears every time I need to print something.

Also, _the_most_weird_thing_: if you will open tab advanced and will change the driver options you changes will be saved to the system and will be applied to all the other jobs! This is absolutely curious. These driver settings changes should be applied ONLY for this app and in any case they shouldn't be saved globally, because user could have other print jobs from other apps... Libre Office does exactly what I talking about — it allow us to change the driver settings too, but it doesn't save them globally to the system and this is correct behavior.

For example: currently duplex printing options doesn't take any effects, so I can enable the double side printing only using the button configure and set up the driver options, but these changes will be saved globally and also will be applied for all the other jobs I have in queue.

So, in KDE I'm only able to review my files, printing is absolutely unusable and only broke inks and papers. DigiKam has more or less appropriate printing master, but it is accessible only for images collection.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to print something. The easiest way: try to print the photo on the 4x6 photo paper. Especially if photo will be landscape orientation. Also try to change you driver settings and see what will happen with your other jobs, added from another apps.


Expected Results:  
By and large, user should not use button "properties" to customize it's printer driver settings directly. The printer was configured once, globally, in driver settings (but not from the app) and this should be quite enough. Any app should not change these default settings globally.

All the settings changes, that may be needed before printing, user should be able to perform through the KDE printing dialog and they should NOT be saved globally, but just for this application session (or using application settings to save these printing settings for this application)
