Many web pages seem to be impossible to print correctly.  I've struggled with 
this for years.  Now when that happens I 'print to file' as a pdf, then do my 
print from the pdf file.  Not ideal, but it works.

The change to qt print system may be a factor, but I've seen this in firefox 
(only for some sites) long before kde4 came on the scene.
