Łukasz, thank you very much for accepting the package into bionic-proposed. I confirm that the updated binary package libqt5printsupport5 fixes the problem. I also updated other libqt5* packages available in bionic-proposed, and did not notice any obvious regressions.

However, I would like to voice my differing opinion on the importance of this bug. While this is perhaps not a high-impact bug in the meaning that it does not impact system stability or security, it is nonetheless one of the "infuriating little bugs" that significantly degrade user experience. For the user who does not remember to dig into prefs to change paper size before every print job, the bug results in the necessity of printing everything twice, as the first copy (A4 on Letter) has top and bottom lines clipped and missing, rendering the printout unusable. This bug, coupled with similar ones and the general instability of KDE desktop, makes Kubuntu 18.04 unsuitable as a desktop OS for everyday use, in my opinion. Because of that I am very grateful that this bug is getting fixed.
