Makes sense, because regular printing is ok (all non-browsing applications). However, I may have found the cause. After issuing the above command I started Konquerer, it also printed 4-up, so I had a look at the properties and this time I could see the parameter: 4 pages per physical page (a KDE dialog). Switching this backup to 1 page, corrected the situation for Konquerer *and* Thunderbird. Remarkable is that a KDE dialog influences Thunderbird running from gnome.
Why? Thunderbird is the same application in both desktops.
