KDE Fedora 12 Printing Page Size defaults to A4

I have additional troubleshooting input ...

Using Okular from Gnome fails.
Using Evince from Gnome works.
Using Evince from KDE works.
Using KWrite from KDE fails.
Using KMail from KDE fails.
Using Kate from KDE fails (no surprise, it's the same as KWrite)
Using GEdit from KDE works.
Using KST from KDE works.

I added a new printer to the system, identical to the existing except it uses the PCL driver instead of PostScript. No change in results, everything either works or fails the same. Not sure I mentioned this before, but my printer is an HP 4Plus using a JetDirect. It has a PostScript option module and 12 meg of memory.

The reason I tried all this in Windows was to see if there might be something either in the documents or in the printer itself to cause the problem.

Update - I did some Googling (shoulda done that long ago!) and found that this is a well-known bug in QT. See http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-3567 for details. Any application that prints through QT will have a problem.

KDE4 has been a disaster. It's just issues after issues, and I thought I'd give it another fair shake. I had been using KDE since 1998 (KDE pre 1) and KDE4 just jumped the shark when it came out so I switched to gnome. So frustrating... (end rant)

Sorry, not to get all emotional here. I'll add myself to that bug report and keep this thread updated.

KDE Bug but it seems to be an upstream QT bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174354
QT Bug: QTBUG-6302 and also sample QT application to reproduce the problem in QTBUG-6471
So now we wait, I guess... :-\
