While messing around with this I have noticed that there is a bug in kwords
kdeprint dialog usage.

If I print from kedit I get under the printer property dialog a choice of paper
size for most printer systems.

But under kword I only get the page size if I use cups and then use the
properies->driversettings and then choose ok. Then I have to reopen the print
dialog for the paper size list to be initialized.

I dont think this should happen.
