upstream patch

Description of problem:

The "Shrink to Printable Area" is also "compatible" with CUPS with no options

Comment 4 Roderick Johnstone 2011-12-12 17:26:11 UTC
Is the default choice for Page Scaling in the Page Handling tab of "Shrink to Printable Area" really correct?

For me, on our Xerox Phaser 8400 printer, this produces a printout from Evince with much bigger margins than you get from gv or okular.

I'm printing an A4 pdf document on an A4 printer with A4 paper.

If I set the Page Scaling to None, I get what gv and okular give me.

I'm wondering whether Evince is scaling the A4 document down to fit within the DefaultImageableArea region from the printer PPD file, which for my printer is somewhat smaller than A4. I then end up with the margin that the printer cannot print as well as the margin from the original document, albeit scaled down a bit.
