I don't seem to have kept a written record, and I don't have direct access to a kde machine, but please test this idea. It is very strange. Open kedit, and go under the printing preferences and find something like print layout which gives you a landscape or portrait. Toggle this to whichever one it is not. Try printing again. This is very quaint, and the part that bothered me the most about it was that, according to my tests and memory: 1) this controls printing style for all users (including root) 2) this controls printing style outside of kde See if this can help you.

Regards, daid You might be correct. When I print a document from my folder it printed correctly, but when my daughter logged in it is printing sideways. KDE4 does not have any printer setting, or does it? I was able to find link to cups but nothing specific to kde4 printers. -- Joseph

It would be a strange downgrade from 3.5, since I have to say, the kde printing manager I found much better than gnome-cups-manager. gnome-cups-manager never sees anything useful printers on networks when I tried it, but kde print manager (whatever it's called) could find lots of stuff. But if the two users are getting different behavior, that's not consistent with what I tried. I'm sure kedit was accessing something else, but in any case, it's a simple test case none-the-less. ~daid
