This bug remains unresolved. The symptoms have now changed slightly. When I print a document from kate, the footers print. The header does not print. The first 1.75 lines of each page are also truncated when printed either to paper or to a PDF virtual printer. With the missing header, 2.75 lines at the top of each page are lost. I believe that my font setting for kate is default: DejaVu Sans mono 9pt.

To the best of my ability and memory, all my KDE settings reflect my circumstances in Canada: using both official languages frequently and using only American paper types and Imperial measurements to measure the paper.

I am currently running the experimental ppa builds of KDE4.2. There was a longish power failure in my neighbourhood this morning and I have therefore had to restart the machine. I am thus running the most up-to-date version possible of Kubuntu Intrepid.

I have had these problems with all versions of Kubuntu KDE 4.x from late betas of 4.0 through the current betas of 4.2. Over the last year, I have done at least two (probably more) bare metal reinstalls of Kubuntu as part of my hobbyist rotation of distributions.
