Re: [newbie] M9.0 , two more problems

I have now had time to look around some more. I cannot see
anything else that might require resetting that isn't already
set to A4 page size, maybe I will come across something in
passing.
John


Yes, everything I do, I print to A4 as it's standard throughout 
Europe
and beyond
but maybe  one of my settings is set to letter without realising 
it.. I
will check
again today when I get a spare moment.But then as you say letter 
is larger
than A4, but wait a minute, isn't letter wider but shorter than A4.I
think so.

Might the Z53 driver be set for A4 paper instead of letter?  A4 
is slightly smaller than letter and may be the cause of your 
margins being off.  That is of course, if you are trying to print 
to letter.

working quite well, 1 works but has a serious problem, the 4th

The driver that works but has problems is:-

Lexmark Z53 CUPS+GIMP-print-v4.2.2
using that difficult to use Adjust margins+offsetsof printed page
programme, with settings,

ML=1.0 ins.
MB=0.5 ins.
MT=0.5 ins.
MR=0.5 ins
X=10
Y=110

the page is centered right enough, but the headers and footers
of any test page are cut off.

I have in kde control center - system - printing manager
image set at  100% of page,
with margins
T0.988 cm
B0.988 cm
L2.505  cm
R0.988  cm

I don't think these settings should chop the headers and 
footers off
but something does when I use kword to send a test page to printer,
and the same test page in the other 2 working drivers print 
fine, so
it has to be either something to do with the driver itself or 
some setting
in the spooling I haven't got right. This driver is worth 
getting set
up as it worksquite well with Z53 printer in past experience.

I've run out of ideas

Help appreciated
