[Klug-general] Printing from Thunderbird

[Margot]

I'm using Thunderbird 1.0-4.1010.1mdk on the Xfce desktop on Mandrake 
10.1 and I can't get it to print properly!

This is what I get:

Print Preview looks OK, but the actual print looks nothing like the preview.
Text wrapping has gone seriously wrong - wrapping does take place, but 
it seems to wrap to the wrong page size - if there are 8 words on the 
line in the preview, the actual print shows words 1 to 6.5 on the first 
line, and word 8 on the second line, with words 6.5 to 7 missing altogether.
Hyperlinks are printed in blue, but printed over the top of (or possibly 
underneath!) the surrounding black text, making everything illegible.
Headers & Footers are printed beyond the edge of the page.

This is what I've tried so far:

In the "Properties" section of the Print panel, tried removing the line 
starting with lpr and replacing with either kprinter or xpp - either of 
these options brings up a box with other printer options before actually 
printing, but nothing makes any difference to the printed result.

Tried changing paper from Portrait to Landscape - this just prints the 
bottom part of the message in portrait format (still wrong!) and leaves 
the right hand side of the paper blank!

In Page Setup, I changed from using "Shrink To Fit" to using 80% - same 
old problems, but with the text smaller!

There are plenty of printing- and font-related options in Thunderbird's 
about:config, but I can't find any documentation on these so I have no 
idea where to start changing things - any suggestions?
