Test page as PostScript
So if you print this file like 'lp -oraw output.ps' do you also have a missing right-hand edge border?
The relevant parts of the PPD are:
*DefaultImageableArea: A4
*ImageableArea A4/A4: "11.3386 11.3386 583.6614 830.6614"
The relevant parts of the PostScript are:
11.3 11.3 translate
gsave 2 setlinewidth 1 1 570.3 817.3 rectstroke grestore
This is what I got from the bannertops filter that comes with cups-1.4-0.rc1.12.fc12, and the numbers do seem to add up:
11.3 (left margin) + 570.3 (imageable width) + 2 (line width) == 583.6
583.6 (right-hand extent of image) <= 583.6614 (right-hand extend of imageable area)

original test page
This is the original page, please. (Media Limits and Media Dimensions are different.)
No surprise that evince gets printing wrong. ;-) Changing component. Er.. you printed that test page for the wrong size page (US Letter instead of A4). (In reply to comment #9) > Er.. you printed that test page for the wrong size page (US Letter instead of > A4). OMG Tim you are right, sorry for my stupidity. Closing as NOTABUG. Well, the evince-printed test page came out wrong even though it was exactly the same as the command-line-printed A4 page which came out perfectly. So there is still a bug here because evince is translating the page upwards and slightly to the right -- rather than just sending the PostScript directly to CUPS, which is what it ought to do.

When I print this page as A4, than all is fine. > So there is still a bug here because evince is translating the page upwards and > slightly to the right -- rather than just sending the PostScript directly to > CUPS, which is what it ought to do. Hi, this is a problem in libspectre. It was introduced into evince since upstream's fix of "https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585442". This change involved Ghostscript into processing of PS files. libspectre doesn't set a paper size and that is why Ghostscript uses default paper size (US Letter). The translation problem is also caused by this change because revert of the change in evince returns correct results. => reassigning to libspectre Marek Hi, the problem was really in evince. It should be fixed in current version of evince. Tomas, could you try whether it works for you know? Thanks Marek All is OK. Verified on: evince-2.28.2-5.el6.x86_64 Thanks |
