There are two places to set margins: one for text and one without a name --
I assume it's "general printing".

You're right, each printing system I select in Control Center gives me a
different set of settings to change. However, the point of a common KDE
print system must be that I make printer settings in one place, and then
each application use those settings. Otherwise, what are the settings for?

Thank you for your answer.
