[Bug 103896] Re: Poor print formatting in Evolution
One more idea: Since Evolution has is origin in Novell, I wonder whether Evolution on OpenSUSE does any better with print formatting. Anyone have OpenSUSE available to check it out? Maybe that will give a clue about where the margin settings are actually kept. -- Poor print formatting in Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 103896] Re: Poor print formatting in Evolution
I concur with Greg about Evolution's poor page layout problem. When I print an email message, the printing starts at top edge of paper and continues to bottom edge. There are no top and bottom margins. This is not merely a problem of setting the margins -- Evolution's page setup dialog doesn't provide any way to set margins at all. To see this, in the mail view, select an email message to view, then click Print and then the Page Setup tab. There are no margin setting parameters on the setup dialog. Moreover, the scale factor doesn't make any difference to the printout, still going from top edge to bottom edge of sheet even when scaling is set way down, such as to 60%. It appears that the Evolution developers just forgot to provide this very basic function -- getting an acceptable printout of a message. I am using Mozilla's Thunderbird email program instead of the integrated mailer in Evolution because Thunderbird does allow one to set top and bottom margins and even to put useful headers and footers on the pages. The only thing I can say about this oversight by the Evolution team is, "what were they thinking when they overlooked providing margins?" Is there a chance that the margins Evolution uses are actually found in some other printer definition file elsewhere in Linux? -- Poor print formatting in Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you give extra details on what the issues are exactly? Does it happen if you print to a pdf? The extra pages is known as bug #94774, bug #88926, bug #95359 describe some other issues. What do you try to print, mail, contacts, calendar? What exactly would you like to get changed? ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Poor print formatting in Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to update this - I reinstalled Feisty with my HP 1012 printer again, and I have the same problem, although /etc/papersize was correctly set to letter right away. -- Poor print formatting in Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As far as I can tell, yes.

Thank you for your bug.

[Bug 103896] Re: Poor print formatting in Evolution
Nobody has this problem? I tried deleting the printer, making sure /etc/papersizes was set to letter, also set to default to letter in the printer properties plus then reinstalled the printer, but the same thing is happening. The strange thing is that it is also happening in print preview. -- Poor print formatting in Evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
