[Bug 1069507] Re: (REGRESSION) printable area is not taken into account correctly
Is this so difficult to fix (or to even decide the importance of)? It's been almost 2 years and this makes something as basic as printing a hell of the problem AND IT USED TO WORK BEFORE the regression. A little hint for the importance: * Renders essential features or functionality of the application or dependencies broken or ineffective Perhaps the impact of this issue is being underestimated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069507 Title: (REGRESSION) printable area is not taken into account correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1069507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1069507] Re: (REGRESSION) printable area is not taken into account correctly
Using the debugging instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems#Capturing_print_job_data I captured the job whilst using the hpcups driver. The spooled file was PDF format. Evince (the PDF viewer) showed that the data in the spool file has an identical top-margin to the original document (probably because the PDF is passed through untouched). However, after experimenting with changes to HWMargin and HPMechOffset in /etc/cups/ppd/DESKJET-995C.ppd on a hunch I tried printing to a different page size. Instead of Print > Page Setup > Paper size: "A4" I used "A4 Small Margins 210x297mm". This printed the top margin precisely as expected. For all my tests I've had Print > Page Handling > Page Scaling: "Fit to Printable Area" selected with "Auto Rotate and Centre" and "Select page size using document page size" disabled (not selected). The difference according to the PPD file is in the page and printable area definitions: *PageSize A4/A4 210x297mm: "<>setpagedevice" *PageRegion A4/A4 210x297mm: "<>setpagedevice" *ImageableArea A4/A4 210x297mm: "18 27 577 797" *PaperDimension A4/A4 210x297mm: "595 833" *PageSize A4.SM/A4 Small Margins 210x297mm: "<>setpagedevice" *PageRegion A4.SM/A4 Small Margins 210x297mm: "<>setpagedevice" *ImageableArea A4.SM/A4 Small Margins 210x297mm: "18 36 577.440002441406 832.679992675781" *PaperDimension A4.SM/A4 Small Margins 210x297mm: "595.440002441406 841.679992675781" That shows that "A4 Small Margins" dimensions are over-sized and "A4" are undersized. In particular the "A4" page length is 3.13mm short. All dimensions are in points (72 points = 1 inch, 2.834... points = 1 millimetre). An A4 page measures 595.27559 x 841.889763 points. ImageableArea values are: lower-left-x lower-left-y upper-right-x upper-right-y. Its coordinates are within the PaperDimension coordinate space. According to other references [1] the A4 PageSize should be 595 x 842 (see table 10-4).

I tried using the driver "HP DeskJet 995C - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9" - the third option for this printer - and the same top-margin crop occurs, so the common issue is CUPS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069507 Title: (REGRESSION) printable area is not taken into account correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1069507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Added the source package "hplip" since the issue is likely in binary package "printer-driver-hpcups". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069507 Title: (REGRESSION) printable area is not taken into account correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1069507/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Affects Ubuntu 13.04 Raring amd64, with HP Deskjet 995C ink-jet using HP drivers 3.13.3 hpcups. Using the hpijs driver the top margin is correct.

I conform the bug. I used evince to print my pdf, but no luck. I also tried lpr directly with lpr -o page-range=3 -o fitplot myfile.pdf, but maybe i missed something in the command line. I didn't have this problem using acroread. Since i don't know what information will be useful, i will be glad to present it upon request. Best.
