Subject:    Printing from KPresenter - no Master layout for printed page, no centering for printed slide

Package: kpresenter
Version: 1.2beta1
Severity: normal

There is a problem with preparing presentation for the Screen and printing 
htem later on printer.
Suppose you have a presentation for the screen - it should have zero (0mm) 
margins for slide, in order to be displayed for a whole screen.
But: if you print 1 slide on page - slide is not aligned to the center (as 
PowerPoint does, for example)
And, there is no margin on top of slide, so it comes @edge to edge@ with left 
side of the page.
Test presentation:

Printout I refer to:
http://htmltests.newmail.ru/koffice/Mfg-new-4b.pdf
 
If you define some margings for the page (Screen) - than it displayed in a 
wrong way on screen (with margins)
So, I suggest that this problem should be fixed by managing Print and Screen 
master slides separatly.
BTW: MS PowerPoint also has Masters (master slides) for Handouts (2,3,4,6 
slides for a page). As soon as we have such separation (one master - for 
screen, another - for printing), I guess extra layouts for handouts can be 
added as well.
If you are interested, I can make screenshot from MS PowerPoint dialog for 
doing those master slides/handouts.
