Try for instance print an email with Kmail or a HTML page with Firefox were you have changed font size. Compare with printing from Outlook or IE. I know very well because I am one of a few using Linux in a 1500 people company.

***Snork.

IE SUCKS at printout, to the point that everyone I know usually copies and pastes into Word before printing. IE butchers page formatting when printing HTML direct from the internet.

I can't tell you how well Firefox or Kmail handle HTML. I don't normally print stright from the internet (most stuff can be used just fine when saved as an electronic copy) and I don't use Kmail.

Mozilla seems to have done well enough printing straight from the web on those few (long ago) cases where I needed to print something.
