I recently installed the KDE 3.5.4 package for Slackware, and I cannot set properly the printing under Konqueror. I had the same problem with my previous version of KDE, 3.1, I think. Whatever I do, I either get text too small on screen, or I get too big a font when printing. From a few threads on kde-forum, its seems this problem has lasted for some time, but I did not find a proper solution.

Although I was able to solve the problem when using Konqueror's incorporated text editor/viewer, when printing Man pages or Info pages from within Konqueror, the problem is still there.

As a start, here is what I did to configure the integrated text editor/viewer.

Konqueror --> Settings -->> Configure Editor... --> Fonts & Colors

- In the Schema drop-down list (top of window), , I choose Konqueror-printing
- On the Font tab, I can change the print font size to say 8pts

- In the Schema drop-down list (top of window), I choose Konqueror-NORMAL
- On the Font tab, I can change the print font size to say 12pts

- In the "Default schema for Konqueror (bottom of window), I choose Konqueror-Normal

Now I can view text on screen comfortably with the Konqueror's incorporated text editor, while printing with a font size suitable for easy reading on paper. The setting won't have to be changed until I change my preferences, .....or until my eyes get older, and change my preferences.

This solves the problem for simple text files viewed and printed with Konqueror's integrated viewer, but what should I do when I want to view and print the Info:bash page from within Konqueror?

There has to be an method easier than changing screen resolution every time, as I have seen suggested on the forum. Could anyone help me?
