There are apparently some problems with Okular and printing PDF files. I am on 
openSUSE11.0 and working on a problem with Okular, if I open a pdf with 
Okular, the print options (margins, paper size etc are wrong. When I go to 
advanced options, and it prints black only). If I do a pdftops conversion then 
open the ps file with Okular, it prints fine, options etc are all correct. 

It appears to be a QT problem. I have reported it to QT . Also see kde bug 
177360.
