John, you've been using kword and 9.1 for a long time. Is this a new problem? Or have you changed your printer?
It seems like I will be joining you with OO if I cannot fix my kword print problem. I have a choice of 4 drivers for my Z53 printers(of which we have 3) and I make a practice of setting up all 4 every time. 3 of these drivers are ghostscript, the 4th is a proprietary(lexmark) , and all 4 each work to a degree, and I don't have any problem with the character spacing with any other app like mozilla for instance, which I use quite often Only kword, and I think kde in general, though I might be wrong there as I haven't test it with the likes of kspread, which I gave up on some time ago as I couldn't solve it's basic problems. I like kword, it has many good features, and the developers have made it more than a word processor, so I want to make it work if I can.
If the problem is with the drivers, then I don't see why it is, since other apps can use them without problems, still , even if it is with the drivers, I sure don't know where and what I am supposed to do with it. I mean the driver setting include many options, but nothing I would sort of figure have anything to do with the character spacing. If I am wrong , by all means correct me I want to learn what to do as much as the next man. I'm guessing it's a kde setup problem , but what ?

Having got the printer to work in MD9.1, I am thinking of wiping M9.0 for MD9.2 install, but if I cannot use kword in MD9.1, then , I have to reconsider my options. It's a pain to switch word processor. It just seems daft that kword cannot print off as usual. I ain't done anything different to my knowledge, though I believe there have been some changes in the kde pre spooling arangements lately, but why should that make a difference anyway ?
It leaves me thinking someone has been tampering with my Z53 drivers , but then I don't see why the drivers have much to do with it, it isn't the apps themselves that determin such matters as character and line spacing or am I wrong ?
