Which distro are you using? (In reply to comment #1) > Which distro are you using? Gentoo/amd64 (with ~amd64 keyword) Ok, i fixed this a month ago but it seems to me something has regressed in cups, i'll have a look when/if I have time but if you have time and know how to do it, it would be great if you could install older/newer versions of cups and see when/if starts working. (In reply to comment #3) > ... it would be great if you could install older/newer versions of > cups and see when/if starts working. Initial progress report: so far, I've tested 1.7.1 (which I was using to begin with) and 1.6.4 which are the only versions that are in Portage and it appears to affect both. I'll look at some older versions now, either by hacking ebuilds so they're managed or installing/removing manually. Hm, interesting. It just occurred to me that the 12.7/6.35mm margins sounded a bit big so I installed evince and printed the ruler page from that with page scaling set to "none" and the printer I'm testing on (LaserJet 1100) appears to have margins of 4mm all round. Maybe there's an additional issue with the way margins are handled. Should I open a separate bug for this? It's a different bug, so yes, sure, please do. (In reply to comment #6) > It's a different bug, so yes, sure, please do. False alarm - it's the PPDs which are being far too conservative. They specify 18/36-point margins for most of the printers I have access to.

I'm beginning to think that maybe this is really a cups bug that has simply been exposed by something Okular does.

Good, one bug less to worry about :-) > (In reply to comment #3) > > Ok, i fixed this a month ago but it seems to me something has regressed in > > cups, i'll have a look when/if I have time but if you have time and know how > > to do it, it would be great if you could install older/newer versions of > > cups and see when/if starts working. > > cups-1.5.4 seems to work as intended and actually scales the image to fit > the 4mm hard margins of the printer rather than the 12.7/6.3mm margins > reported by the PPD. > > I'm beginning to think that maybe this is really a cups bug that has simply > been exposed by something Okular does. If you have time it would be awesome if you can try between the different cups version of 1.5.4 (that you say works) and 1.7.1 (that you say it does not) so we can pin point a bit more where it broke and then maybe approach the cups developers about it.

Did you report this to CUPS bug tracker? I have the same problem in Kubuntu 14.04 with CUPS 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.2 and Okular 4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1 and would like to track progress of this... Also in cups 1.7.5 on FC21. As already asked, has this been reported to CUPS? Marking this as a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348172, since once that's fixed, this will work, too. (Albert, feel free to harrangue me if I'm wrong about this :) ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 348172 *** The duplication you did is wrong. This bug is that the pages are getting cropped when they should not, nothing to do with adding extra scaling options. Bug still present. Confirmed and other softwares are ok. Possible to copy their code for printing? *** Bug 408273 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
