Public bug reported:
I have a problem when printing PostScript files created with GMT
(Generic Mapping Tools) using Ubuntu Dapper. I create a PostScript file
with the following command:
/usr/lib/gmt/bin/psxy --PAPER_MEDIA=letter -R1/7.5/1/10 -JX6.5i/9i
-Ba1f0.25WSne -P /dev/null > test.ps
The resulting test.ps file previews correctly in gv and every other PS viewer I
have tried. When I print the file, the resulting page has my figure magnified
about 4x such that the lower left of the figure fills the entire page. I get
the same result on 4 different printers (all PostScript)
HP LaserJet 2300dn
HP LaserJet 8000N
Xerox Phaser 8400DP
Xerox Phaser 860N
Other PostScript files generated in OOo or Firefox print correctly.
If I copy the test.ps file to an Ubuntu Hoary system (or old Debian, HP-
UX, Mac OSX ...) the file prints correctly on the same 4 printers.
It appears the PostScript command "0.24 0.24 scale" is being ignored
resulting in the figure being scaled by a factor of 4.16667. If i run
test.ps through ps2ps before printing, it will print correctly.
I have been using GMT for many years and I have not seen this printing
problem before.
