Text file that i used for testing
Other paper sizes like Letter,A4 etc.. are printed file in landscape orientation. Please help us to understand why this different behaviour between normal paper size and envelop papersize.If its a bug in ghostscript please provide us a fix for this. Thanks & Regards, Goutam Any update on this ??? This is due to the imageable area being smaller than the media size (see the Env10 ImageableArea attribute in the PPD). gedit ought to take this into account when formatting its print output. Thanks for the update Tim. Will you be pushing this bug to gedit folks or should i have to log separate bug for this in gedit ? We been seeing this issue from fedora 16 onwards. This is happening with only the text files printing in landscape orientation only on the Envelope paper sizes . Envelop paper sizes have more bottom margins than compared to other paper sizes this is as per the printer hardware specification. When i checked this on Ubuntu 12.04 distro i could found that cpdftocps filter(script) is taking care of adding the hardware margins into the ps file and the ghostscript takes care of it further. Please provide us a solution with this regard. Thanks for you continuous support. Regards, Goutam Kodu I've changed the component to gedit so the developers can take a look. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
