It would help if you described what the *problem* is. "Is useless" really isn't a helpful bug report. What are you doing, what happens and what do you expect to happen? Ohh my ;) I'm sorry... The Problem is that the last line on a page is missing or is only visible by a quarter or so. I have KDE 3.1Beta2 unofficial Debian/sid packages installed. I use cups as printing system. The printer (HP LJ4+) has been properly configured and works fine with mozilla or from the console (lpr) for example. Now I want to print a html page longer than one page with konqi. The problem seems to exist only with konqi. I expect to see all the text on the paper that I wanted to print... If you have suggestions what I could do else to help tracking down the problem, please let me know. I have had the same (kind of) problem. It is caused by a problem in Cups and/or the printers ppd file definitions. The margins in the ImageableArea are wrong. http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/foomatic-devel/2002q2/000758.html The solution is simple, although it takes a little amount of work. Find the ppd file you use, for Cups it is in /etc/cups/ppd/ and change that file the line that starts with '*ImageableArea A4/A4:" to the correct dimensions of your printers printing area. For my printer the default was: ' *ImageableArea A4/A4: "0 0 595 842" ' which I changed to ' *ImageableArea A4/A4: "0 9 595 842" ' . The first two values define the left-bottom corner in (x,y) coordinates, which was raised a little bit by changing the second (y) value. As the left-bottom value is the start of the coordinate system of your printer, you can use the same y value for other output formats (A5,Letter,Legal) also. You want to play with the exact Y value for your printer, and the best way to do this is to print 2 pages on a sheet. This way you will influence the leftmost margin, which is easily noticable. I recommend using a longer text from www.extremetech.com. All pages of these texts have as the header a nice black square which starts at the edge. (see: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,,37024,00.asp , the 'print' link -for a printable page- is at the bottom) I heard rumours that KDE3.1 had a better way of inputting these area coordinates, but in the meantime this works (at least for me). This solution should also work for bug 24282. B.T.W I have a HP OfficeJet G95, and the margin problems were not visible in the preview of the printed output. I tested it using KDE 3.0.5 on SuSE 8.0, and KDE 2.2.2 on the current Debian-Sarge (testing). I Hope this helps. GJ. Thanks Geert-Jan, I adjusted left bottom as you suggested with text from ExtremeTech, However, printing in Konqueror still misses 2 to 2.5 lines of bottom of page. This doesn't occur using Mozila. Any suggestions? Using KDE3.0.5a, Linux Mandrake 9.0; printer HP670C, cups *** Bug 48559 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Seems resolved to me. Printing this bug report works perfectly now... |
