Please attach the PPD configured for the queue (from /etc/cups/ppd/), as well as the 'file.pdf' input file.  Thanks.

With this file.pdf, i have the problem with this command : 

lp -o fitplot file.pdf

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2010-10-20 10:30:53 UTC
Locally I see the bottom of the page clipped when using fitplot (on an HP PSC 2210 with hpijs PPD) even though it is well within the imageable area.  Further investigation needed.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2011-06-02 15:40:50 UTC
The cause seems to be the poppler/gs-wrapper version of the CUPS pdftops filter not taking into account the printer's imageable area.

Possible work-around: convert PDF to PostScript first.

Reported upstream.

Comment 7 Jan Hubeny 2011-11-02 06:19:00 UTC
This bug is probably in RHEL6. We run the CentOS6 server with CUPS 1.4.2.

the fitplot option is ignored both for ps or pdf files on all printers in our company (40 ifferent ppd's). Moreover, we run the CUPS server with identical configuration files (/etc/cups/*) on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and on this server is the fitplot option working. Therefore I suppose that the problem is sowhere inside redhat/centos.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-04-02 10:34:09 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product Management has
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently
deployed products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in
a release.

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2012-04-12 15:26:54 UTC
Poppler already shrinks content to fit the page, but there is no way to tell it what the imageable area on the page is.  Poppler needs to provide a way to do this, and make it available via pdftops.  Once it does this, CUPS can use it.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2012-06-12 01:16:42 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 12 Andrius Benokraitis 2013-10-07 01:34:16 UTC
This Bugzilla has been reviewed by Red Hat and is not planned on being addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and therefore will be closed. If this bug is critical to production systems, please contact your Red Hat support representative and provide sufficient business justification.
