This highlights the broken print.

SUMMARY
I was printing some scanned-in documents today, and when printed thru Okular, there were large borders around the document. When printed through Evince, however, the documents fit the page perfectly (with fit to printable area selected). 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Print document with print set to fit.


OBSERVED RESULT
Massive margins around the page.

EXPECTED RESULT
Page fits as in Evince.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Attached are pictures of the broken print, here is a google drive link to a reproducible document: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UquoDj-ld2mMAFyqkVjh_eIYj9Uuu3WE/view?usp=sharing This printed as shown in Okular, but successfuly, filling the page, in Evince.

> with print set to fit
Can you clarify what this means? How did you set it exactly? Did you happen to check the "Force Rasterization" checkbox?

No, I didn't enable force rasterization. Everythnig was stock, except for printer properties.

Works fine for me in a quick test with Okular 1.10.2 on Debian testing using the CUPS-PDF printer using A4 as page size.

Does it work for you when "printing" using CUPS-PDF instead of the actual printer as well?

If so, you please attach:
* your printer's PPD file, located at /etc/cups/<PRINTERNAME>.ppd
* CUPS log (or relevant part of that for the print job): /var/log/cups/error_log, with 'LogLevel debug' set in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (might have to set 'ErrorLog /var/log/cups/error_log' in '/etc/cups/cups-files.conf' or otherwise search in journal, depending on how your distro configures this)
Comment 4 Michael Weghorn 2020-06-22 12:43:08 UTC
And does it work if you explicitly enable rasterization? This might help to avoid issues with the CUPS filter chain, s.a. bug 422690.
