Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages When i print a file using okular, the page is shifted a few mm (7 or 8) to the top. As a result, there is a blank margin at the bottom, and the top of the page is missing. If i print with acrobat reader (all my files are actually pdf), then it is printed without any problem. I have had this problem with very long, probably with kpdf in kde3 already.
Created attachment 32398 [details] example As you can see on this exemple, some part of the bottom is missing as well. This the very same document, printed with acrobat on the left, and with okular on the right.
I experience this as well. (Side-note: I can at least confirm that this happens with US Letter and US Legal sizes of paper.) Adobe Reader on Windows does not exhibit this issue. Okular 0.8.2 KDE 4.2.2 "release 114" openSUSE 11.1 CUPS 1.3.9 Brother HL-4070cdw color laser printer
I wonder if the following might be related; hopefully it is not a red herring. https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/293832
i confirm the problem with kde/okular 4.4.4 and app-text/poppler-0.12.4-r3. I confirm that when using acroread, it works well. Though it's a pain to have to start acroread just for printing... :-( Is there really anything i can do to help solve this ?
Well, you can start your editor of choice and send a patch if you know how to code
u?? i dont know anything about this. I've double checked the driver and the "ppd" file today... they are ok. Anyway, as it works with acroread and not okular, i think the problem is on 'higher' levels than drivers.
u? Who said drivers?
I'm trying to find out what my problem is. I thought it would be useful to tell here what i've tried and the results. Bad idea?
I think we are having a communication problem. You asked how to help, i said that if you can code you could try looking at the code and provide a patch, if you can not code, yes, posting your findings here is good.
yes, i understand this. I said in #6 that i could not code and, also, gave a test result. In 7 you seem to say that my test was stupid. I'm sorry for this. I do what i can.
also, i find the proposal "if you can code, provide a patch" a little bit aggressive, if not insulting. Of course, if i could fix the problem myself, i would, for sure, not keep the result only for me.
I failed to understand that "i dont know anything about this." means "no, i can not code".
the problem is still here, and still so frustrating. i can't print with kde.. app-text/poppler-0.16.7 kde-base/okular-4.6.5
Try with Evince if you can. It may not be Okular, but KDE's print system that's at fault.
I believe this is a duplicate of bug 196590. Improper margins could be the issue.
