Cousin Matej I haven't thought much about this problem since the original discussion here, until today when I noticed a post on another NG asking about small-font printing problems from Konqueror with a Canon printer in the same family as the one I use Thanks for the reminder that modifying the CSS in a central location would be overwritten by subsequent KDE upgrades /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/common/kde-default.css In view of potentially wiping out such a local fix with subsequent upgrades, for a single user system, such as the one I'm using, I can see how this could perhaps fall into the dumb-zone But maybe for a multi-user environment, a temporary fix in a central location instead of a single fix to each of many users $home might actually be preferable and less hassle in the long run I now have the local fix turned off and since I'm currently printing very little, I've just been dealing with it on a case-by-case basis as needed I'd be interested in your views before I point anyone else toward this thread Thanks again for your feedback It's much appreciated -- Stanley C.

Konqueror calculate the fontsize of the print looking the size of its windows. You have different print-size in function of the size of the windows where konqueror is executing. Please, test it. So, or you use a homemade css style selected in the config section, or wait till a new version of konqueror with an option about the print font size.

I'm a bit desesperately because in some pages when I try to print it with konqueror the font size is very small, and I don't know how to change it. I can see very well the page on the screen, but if i want to print it, then all is very small. Also, I have noticed that sole paragraph lines are bad adjusted on the printed page.
