Description Nathaniel Gray 2003-07-03 02:20:35 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

Please add the following print filter to the kdeprint distribution.  The filter uses psresize to resize an A4 document to fit US Letter paper.

(I will attach the filter .desktop and .xml files to the bug report)

Michael,

what about this one?
(I will try to test the proposed files).

Comment 4 Michael Goffioul 2005-01-31 11:37:19 UTC

I'm OK with the idea, but I'd make it more flexible, where the from-format and the to-format are configurable. Otherwise, to be consistent, you'd need a Letter-to-A4 filter, a A4-to-whatever, a whatever-to-A4, a whatever-to-whatever...

Michael.

"...I'd make it more flexible..."

Of course. 

I once had a generic half-working KDEPrint-ified "psresize" pre-filter on my harddisk. I'll look if I can find it. But it will be well after Wednesday (string freeze for 3.4), unfortunately.

Comment 6 Johann-Nikolaus Andreae 2005-11-27 21:29:50 UTC

Im also missing this feature.
for the flexibility the following options are nice:
- Shrink oversized pages to paper size
- Expand smal pages to paper size

Comment 7 Adrian Dziubek 2006-05-09 21:43:56 UTC

Just dreaming... but a good future feature for forest saving enthusiast would be also getting rid of superfluous margins on the way by cropping the page while scaling...

Comment 8 Kurt Pfeifle 2007-01-13 04:25:01 UTC

I think this is a typical "Junior Job" candidate...

Comment 9 John Layt 2009-01-01 12:28:21 UTC

KDEPrint in KDE3 is unmaintained and will have no more new features implemented.  KDE4 uses the Qt print dialog instead.  This request will never be implemented as a result.  Closing.
