Re: [Hplip-help] How to align paper margins?

Hello,

 When automatic double-sided printing is enabled, both top and
 bottom margins are set to 0.5 in.
 The auto duplexing hardware requires a 0.5 in bottom margin.
 The top side of front page becomes bottom side on the back page
 (the duplexer rotates page 180 degrees), so, we set both
 margins to 0.5 in.

Does this mean that for automatic double-sided printing
the unprintable margins can become bigger than the ImageableArea
entries in the PPD tell?

As a test, print two pages plain text with a border line:
  echo -e One\fTwo | lp -d queue -o page-border=single

This way the border line mark the imageable area according
to what the ImageableArea entries in the PPD tell.

Now print it via automatic double-sided printing and check if
the border lines are still completely visible on the printout
or if the driver may have cut away something.

Hi again,

for kicks I tried printing the test pages with Double-Sided Printing
turned off in the cups web configuration and the prints are perfect it
seems. Nothing gets cut off. The print is bigger in height as well, 0.9
cm at the top and 1.1 cm at the bottom. The width stayed the same.

I guess I have to rephrase my question to How do I get the same margins
with duplex printing enabled?

Regards
Sebastian
