Hi,

I noticed a bug in CVS about a week ago (maybe it's fixed now). As already said,
Konqueror scales its content such that it fits on the page width. For that it
uses the ratio between the real page width and a HTML width. The problem is that
is that this HTML width seems to be dependent on the Konqueror window width.
So if you have a large (maximized) window, scale factor will be large and print
result will be too small (in the upper left corner of the page). But if you
window is small (you have scrollbars visible), then the scale factor will be
so that the content exactly fits to the page width. Note however that fonts are
always scaled, so if the HTML content is too large, the scale factor will still
be large and font will look too small. You'd better print in landscape mode then.

Bye.
Michael.
