Description Ecmel Ercan 2001-10-06 16:35:30 UTC 
Description of Problem:
I am using a Hewlett Packard II P Plus laser printer.  I have selected the
appropriate driver for my printer.

Starting with RedHat 7.1, there is a wierd margin problem.
Suppose you have a document in StarOffice (or applixware) which
has the following margins on an A4 paper:

Left : 2 cm
Right : 2 cm
Top : 2 cm
Bottom : 2 cm

The actual printout will have the following margins:

Left : 2.1 cm
Right : 1.9 cm
Top : 1.3 cm
Bottom : 2.7 cm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.51

How Reproducible:
Every time
Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-01-10 16:47:59 UTC 
But it worked in 7.0?
Comment 2 Ecmel Ercan 2002-01-11 17:43:04 UTC 
Exactly....
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2002-03-05 17:52:07 UTC 
What about the printconf test pages?  For example, if you print
/usr/share/printconf/tests/testpage-a4.ps, does _that_ come out right?

Can you attach /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl please?
Comment 4 Ecmel Ercan 2002-03-05 18:22:49 UTC 
No, the same thing for the test pages.

The requested file is attached.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2002-03-05 22:57:02 UTC 
Thanks.  Can you try this?

gs -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=ljet2p -sOutputFile=output \
   /usr/share/printconf/tests/testpage-a4.ps

then (as root), set up a RAW queue to the same printer, and print the 'output'
file that you get.  I'd like to see if the margins are still wrong, or if they
are getting messed up by printconf.
Comment 7 Ecmel Ercan 2002-03-10 12:46:11 UTC 
Nothing changed, still the margins are problematic.

Hope helps.
Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2002-03-11 10:52:09 UTC 
Thanks.  So it's a ghostscript problem, somehow.
