On my setup, it doesn't print via kprinter either. HPLIP confirms the job
has been "done". I have to export to PDF and print from there. I had to
change the default settings which create an extra margin on PDF outputs.
Then I have to ensure that the PDF program doesn't add any of its own. I use
Scribus to get precisely-sized layouts for framing photos (amongst other
things).

Obviously the "colourspace" issue is resolved by putting in the extra stage.
Whilst Scribus has all the powerful stuff for separations etc., it mustn't
leave those behind whose use is far more "domestic".
