Sure, I should correct myself...

I use KDE 2.1.2, so i've seen the margin problems on the right side of the
page (it is too close to the right margin of the sheet). I'll try to install
the KDE 2.2.1 as you wrote to fix that. How can I do this?

I've printed the page to a file as you told me. The browse showed the
problem is present (see the attachment - the K in the logo has been cut a
little at the top; and if we should "place" it on the sheet and clear out 5
mm from the top, the result would be exactly as my printed sheet)

Could the problem be solved simply by adding a few lines top before the page
starts printing? (Sorry for the council - sure you know how to do this
better than me :-)

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,

Elijah Schurov
