Version 15.12.3 was not listed (BTW) When I click on "Print Preview..." it shows exactly how the /contents/ of the document will look. However, it does not show the accoutrements, such as border, header, footer, line numbers etc. I want to know exactly how the pages are going to look /before/ I print them. Is the margin going to cause spill over to three pages instead of two? etc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type a document 2. File -> Print ... 3. Select/Make sure selected: Options -> Color Mode: Color; Options -> Duplex Printing: Long Side; Text Settings -> Print Line Numbers; Header & Footer -> Print Header; Header and Footer -> Print Footer 4. Print the document 5. File -> Print Preview Actual Results: No headers, footers, or line numbers or color Expected Results: Print Preview to look exactly like what I have printed as a physical copy

Pong ;=) This is a valid wish, to improve the preview, which ATM doesn't care for the settings it seems. Patches are welcome! Given printing text documents got a bit uncommon, I have unfortunately not much hope that some of the KTextEditor developers will take that up, if nobody else provides an improvement patch.
Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users. If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it. If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind, if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it, it will expire in a year again. We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/ Greetings Christoph Cullmann
This is a legit wish.
