KWord printing quality

Beginner

Hi,
printing with KWord 1.2 always results in too bold letters. Also in underlined parts, the line directly touches the letters. Normally there are some pixels space.
Printing the same text with OO (same printer driver, same settings) results in better quality (Letters not so bold, underlined parts have space between line and letters).
Is this a problem of KWord or my system, or maybe something that is configurable somewhere?

its not kword, its just kde printing system. how do you have your OO printing setup? kprinter manages printing for KDE and thats what you should tweak.

what system are you using (CUPS, other?)

I'm using CUPS (but the print preview already looks "too bold".)
The print command in OO ist
/usr/bin/perl -p -e "s=/euro /unused=/Euro /unused=" | /usr/bin/lpr-cups -P Gimp_EpsonC82

okay, if your OO and Kprinter are going to the same thing then its definetly kword problem, id try printing/print previewing a document in konqueror and see if you get the same prob. if so then its kprinter that may be the issue (parsing it incorrectly to cups is a possibility)

I did an HTML export with KWord to print the file with konqueror. And the result is much better, so it really seems to be a problem of KWord.
