SUMMARY

I'm trying to print to a sheet with labels, i.e. 1:1.

This does not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open the attached file
2. print it, selecting "scale mode: None, print original"

OBSERVED RESULT

The result is shifted downwards and to the right.

EXPECTED RESULT

The result is printed as-is (except that the printer doesn't print onto the very edges of the page).

This picture shows the result, including the fact that "lpr" prints the file correctly.

I attached a picture that shows the result, including a correct printout by "lpr -o print-scaling=none".

Hi - referencing information provided here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498929#c4

Printing as described would be done using the settings PDF Options -> Scale mode -> Original size in the Print dialog.

Thanks!
