Hi
After some investigations I found a relatively easy way to get arround this.
The culprit beeing cups-filters. After downgrading it, evrything seemed OK.
apt-cache policy cups-filters
cups-filters:
Installed: 1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1
Candidate: 1.0.24-2ubuntu0.1
Versiontabel:
1.0.24-2ubuntu0.1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64
1.0.24-2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64
*** 1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64
How to downgrade?
add the line
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main
to sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install cups-filters=1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1
apt-mark hold cups-filters
Hope this is useful
Jack

Title:
PDF's are offset when printed with lpr, but not acroread
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When printing pdf files from evince or lpr the result is a pdf file that is
offset and usually cliped at the top and right edge.
The following file was used
www.opensource.apple.com/source/cups/cups-136/cups/test/testfile.pdf
from evince select scalling as none select auto rotate and center
the result is a printout that is shifted up and left so that hte lower and
left edges can be seen
the expected result is that all sides should be clipped given the testfile
prints at the extreme boarders
This only happens with 12.10. The printer works fine on 12.04 with the exact
same drivers installed.
These drivers are installed on both computers. The printer in question is a
Brother DCP7065DN
LPR driver deb 2.1.0-1 35 KB 2011.Apr.01
cupswrapper driver deb 2.0.4-2 13 KB 2011.Apr.01
downloaded from
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#DCP-7065DN
This test file can be printed as expected from acroread. The
difference I believe is that evince and lpr pass along PDF and
acroread passes postscript. this was observed by doing a file on the
/var/spool/cups/d*
This is also observed via libre office. when printing and one selects
PDF for the 'printer language type' the offset is observed. if you
select postscript from the 'printer language type' it prints as
expected.
I also have a MFC-J4510DW that prints perfectly from 12.10 all
applications mentioned.
Both printers have the latest firmware.
