Yes. They definetively need some work. Problem was up to now, that nobody
really cared about them. I did some work on the khtml driver, but never got
to really finish it. I picked up some of the issues lately however.

Should be simple using a style sheet for printing. I'll hopefull yhave it
imlpemented for 2.2

This should work. Could you tell me a case where characters are cut of when
printing?

This is a problem, and unfortunately not an easy one to solve. That's why we
repeat some amount of text at the moment. It'll need some restructuring in
the drawing/layouting engine of khtml. So this will probably be the request
that has to wait longest...
