PostScript was always correct scaled to fill the page for me -- I had only some problems with PDF some time ago, now solved. Of course generating PostScript is better to localize error than direct printing. But: To get help from the experts here, you may say which version of gschem you are using with which operating system, and which PostScript viewer you are using to verify output. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

All with borders (btw. bei mir heisst es auch alles mit Rand :) ), is the option whose borders are to wide for me. So I use without borders. Maybe I can decrease the size of the borders in gschemrc ?

Since it is printing related, it would be gafrc anyway, but like I said, the option doesn't exist. You might like to file a feature request on the sourceforge tracker.

In the archive is a discussion about this topic but all the solutions there not helped me. Hmm, not sure about the ps output being wrong. You use gv for viewing.. do you have any different viewers to try.. evince? This said, gv works for me (A4 paper, landscape). What happens if you convert to pdf with something like ps2pdf filename.ps then look at filename.pdf with acroread, evince, xpdf or something like that? Perhaps you could produce some (compressed) screenshots of the cases working / not working with borders and no-boarder settings, so we might understand more. If the files are more than a few kB, just email privately to me - rather than bothering the list. (Or email geda-dev, where it might be more acceptable as part of a potential bug being investigated). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Using ps2pdf is not so good for investigation, because this program can cripple PostScript, as discussed in http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/Aug-2008/msg00315.html Maybe use kprinter or lp -d CUPS-PDF-Printer if available. For me it is still not absolutely clear if indeed postscript output is crippled (a bug) or if only printer can not print borders of paper. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
