(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 3.0.2 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.63.1mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-2dmm
OS/Compiler notes: 

I'm experiencing new problems printing HTML pages with Konqueror.  I don't
know if this is a KHTML bug or a bug elsewhere but it just manifested itself
when I upgraded to 3.0.2 (stable)

I'm seeing a number of situations where for example a series of HOWTO pages
will all print so that the font size rendered on paper varies from page to
page.  I'm working on writing a HOWTO using the same template for each page.
In terms of formatting it's all very simple stuff.  I can find nothing to
distinguish the "bad" pages from the "good" pages.

Most disconcerting of all is that I've found a number of pages that print in
letters too small for me to measure without a micrometer.  The text is being
rendered perfectly but I require a powerful magnifying glass to read it!

One example is here:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/06/0215.html

The on-screen rendering is fine but I can't print it in a useful way.

Both in the print pre-view and in the actual hardcopy what's happening is
that the lines are not wrapping at any sane limit.  They extend the entire
width of the page and beyond.  The print engine seems to be trying to make
these incredibly long lines fit the width of the page by scaling it down to
the most ridiculously small font possible and so the entire document gets
printed in letters that must be about 1/72" high.

I'm printing via CUPS on a Brother HL-1440 Foomatic+HL-1250.  It's not a
native Post-Script printer but it has done an excellent job with everything
until now.  It prints this page perfectly with Netscape.

This bug still exists in KDE 3.2.1.  It's been close to two years now.  Is anyone looking at this?

Replaced silvan@windows-sucks.com with kobe@physik.uni-bonn.de due to bounces by reporter
