Repeatedly, since some time, printing PDF pages of smaller (book size) pages with Okular results in pages not centered, as expected, but moved to the right and top, usually with parts of the text column not printed; and perhaps, from the impression, slightly upscaled. With Acrobat Reader the pages are printed correctly. With evince I tested one PDF and found it slightly shifted to the left, but otherwise ok. With lp (Cups) the page was not centered vertically but otherwise ok.
Please attach such file
Created attachment 88364 [details] First page of an recent article
Created attachment 88365 [details] Pages from a scanned book.
Created attachment 88366 [details] Printed pages, first by Okular, then by lp.
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #1) > Please attach such file I selected from the files to keep them smaller, and printed them from okular and directly with cups (lp). The latter is not perfect, not centered vertically, it seems, but otherwise it is not as unusable for reading as the pages produced via Okular. What a pity!
I just printed "firs tpage of a recent article" and it appeared centered and uncut (how i would expect it). Which okular, cups and poppler versions do you have?

These are versions either the same or very similar to mine. Maybe it's printer dependent? I'm think i'm without ideas here, sorry :/
I do have exactly the same problem on a new installed Opensuse 13.2. It happens with certain pdf file including the ones in this bug. To exclude a printer driver problem I installed cups-pdf. When I print to cups-pdf I do see the problem as well. stefan@linux-vy41:/etc/cups> okular --version Qt: 4.8.6 KDE: 4.14.2 Okular: 0.20.2
I have filed a printing bug at opensuse bugzilla. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908624 The root cause for the problem is poppler which creates wrong BoundingBox values when"fit-to-page" is used. See poppler bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87161
Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue with Okular in Kubuntu 15.04 64 bit. I see there is a patch available for OpenSuse, could someone tell me whether it is possible to apply it to Kubuntu and how? Many thanks Emanuele
Peter I'm unable to replicate this on current Okular, can you please test and confirm if we are able to close this bug report, thanks.
