Vladimir, you were right:

Just tried Adobe Reader. Due to a sorting issue with another printer, I 
let AR send the documents to kprinter and print from there. And now the 
print is perfect, even the colors are better (seem correct now, I didn't 
realize they didn't match).

Thanks for the tipp!

Rolf
