Description Marco Morath 2013-08-22 17:17:09 UTC 
It would be good if I could configure the default print settings a bit more specific. I  often print to e-mails or save them as a PDF.
However, I always have to adapt in KMail the printer margin settings, so that the contents do not get printed in the margin.

The ideal thing would be the following:

Easily set the printer margins in the general printer settings from KDE. Every program can handle it (eg KMail), if it gets the settings from KDE.
Of course it would be perfect, if KDE or KMail get the the settings mirrored for duplex printing (the left margin would be the inner margin and the right margin the outer margin). KDE or KMail should configure that automatically, if the printer is set to duplex-printing.

By default it's better to set the marings for printing e-mails and other things to work with to 10 mm at the top, the bottom an the right/outer margin. The left/inner margin should be 20 mm by default, because the pages get perforated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A
Actual Results:  
N/A

Expected Results:  
pre-define printer-settings for real printers and PDF-printers/pdf-export.

Hello

my wish is, that Marco's 'ideal thing' 

"set the margins for printing e-mails and other things to work with to 10 mm at the top, the bottom an the right/outer margin. The left/inner margin should be 20 mm by default, because the pages get perforated."

is soon accepted and realized.

Thank you

Matthias
