Bug 196590

I have the same problem also using openSUSE packages.

I have this problem using the same version of Paolo, opensuse packages. Here's a image of what happen: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Q5EV5hRXOo_HD8gyMjX-gQ?feat=directlink

*** Bug 196060 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 195719 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reproduced in trunk too (r982970) with Qt 4.5.1

I can confirm this behaviour on Kubuntu, KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2), packages from the Kubuntu Backports PPA:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main

PDF printing works from GhostView.
Changing margins setting doesn't change anything.

same here
(Also KDE 4.2.90 from PPA on Kubuntu jaunty)

*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***

i also confirm this behaviour kubuntu kde4.2 beta2 (ppa)

Confirming that Okular places the print-content too far up and right, causing part of the content content to be out of the printable area and leaving a huge empty space along the left and bottom edges regardless of what margins I set.

Also confirming that other KDE programs like KWrite, and also GIMP and Adobe Reader 9, print correctly.

As for Print Preview (which has the same output as Print to File [PDF]), it appears that the same oversized margins that Okular is using for the left and bottom edges during printing are in place, but instead of cutting off the content the same margins are being used for the opposite edges and the content is being shrunk instead.

Okular version 0.8.80
Using KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2) "release 138"
OpenSUSE 11.1
Brother HL-4070cdw
  Brother's PPD file version 1 (2007-04-18)
  WITH AND WITHOUT
     Brother's lpr driver version 1.0.2-4 (2009-04-09)
     Brother's cupswrapper driver 1.0.2-4 (2009-04-09)

I too am getting this problem with opensuse factory builds on 11.0. 

I noticed that the document output by print-to-file (PDF) has a larger pages size than the original document.

Original size (from Okular File->Properties): 209.903 x 297.039 mm (i.e. A4)
Output PDF size (from Okular File->Properties): 257.175 x 373.592 mm

Hope that helps :)

Additional note: print to postscript appears to exhibit the same behaviour.

temporary restore back old behaviour, so margin people are happy but page size ones are not

For me the printing problem is not fixed in RC1 (4.2.95 release 139)
Packages: openSuse factory for 11.1 (i386)

I can confirm what Thomas says. 4.2.95 release 139, but for x86_64: still not fixed in RC1.

The commit that caused this regression in 4.3 beta2 was reverted as it was done.
Thus, if you have the problem in any version different than kde 4.3 beta2, your bug is NOT this one. Bug #179804 might look like a good candidate.

As said in comment #17, the specific margin issue appeared in 4.3beta2 was fixed in rc1, so this bug can be closed.

I still have this error on my machine running Arch Linux 64 bit with KDE 4.5.2 (KDEmod). Printing from Okular is impossible for me because everything is off center on the print-out. Acrobat reader works fine and everything else.

Has anyone ever been able to fix this. I'm still having this problem with cut margins when printing with kde4 apps. Gone/gtk etc. apps print fine no matter what type of file it is.

And what version of Okular do you talk about exactly? We need the Okular version, not the KDE version

This is fixed in my case. The cause for me was a defect printer driver for my brother printer.

Guys, you are merging different reports, but i'm not sure the problem is always
the same. Quick summary concerning my problem:

* it appeared long before kde 4.3beta2 (this bug 196590 speaks about a
regression, this is not my case)
* it seems the problem was in poppler, see link to upstream ticket by a
commenter different than me in my original bug report. So this would be neither
kde or qt.
* When i do 'print preview', i have no error, only when actually printing

Also, i have the problem when printing with almost anything : okular and other
tools, most of them kde, but not all. I guess all are based on poppler.. ?

With the very important exception of official 'acroread', which prints
perfectly whatever i send it. This is my current 'workaround' and has been so
for the last... 6 years....? This kinda seems to confirm that for me the
problem is not in the printer driver.

Still, i would be really interested in more details from "Comment #23 From
André Fettouhi" : which driver ? which version ? where did you get it ?

I have a brother-dcp7045n printer and I'm using it on Arch Linux 64 bit. I was using it with official driver from brother

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html

(version 2.0.2). With this printer driver (cups) I always had this issue with cutoff margins in KDE applications but not in gnome/gtk applications. I found a forum post on the ubuntu forums a whilw back that stated that this driver was broken and to resolve this issue one had to switch to the open driver for the brother dcp-8045D from gutenprint. I did that and now the issue with the cut-off margins is gone.

I'm going to close this as worksforme since André got it to work. Anyway this is another of those dumping ground bugs where people go and say "me too" when it's actually not the same at all, so please if you still have a similar problem go and open a new bug and be as specific as possible of what is your issue.
