Hi Sven, this is a good point. I'd like to add another consideration:

We use KDE in school, where there are dozens of users on different 
machines (some with differend versions of KDE BTW), and sometimes there 
is a pile of printouts that we cannot attribute to anybody. For bigger 
print jobs, there is the banner option to have one title page preceding 
any print job. But with single pages, this would waste 100% of paper.

So how about a framing mode that scales the page to 90% and writes some 
status information (user, machine, date, time) in the resulting frame? 
Many browsers do the same with URL etc. and I think if you choose to 
print more two pages on one, you have a similar frame.

Regards
Ralf
