Hi Paul,
I think Jeremias is correct.
Try adding a TranscodingHint to the PrintTranscoder -
    printTranscoder.addTranscodingHint(PrintTranscoder.KEY_SCALE_TO_PAGE, Boolean.FALSE);
should stop the scaling, but probably not  x, y offset of the printed image based on the getImageableX and getImageableY evaluated after the call to PrinterJob.validatePage.

Have a look at the source code for PrintTranscoder. It queries the
printable area (ImageableWidth/Height/X/Y) from the printer driver and
adjusts accordingly. For many use cases this will be ok, but obviously
not in your case. Maybe it needs a switch/TranscodingHints there.

I just tried printing the same SVG from inkscape, and it's perfect, so
there is definitely a problem with batik's PrintTranscoder. I'm ruling
out the Print API as I've used java before to print A4 JPEGS that had to
be accurately sized and positioned and it worked fine. (well.... apart
from using most of the RAM in the machine !)

I've managed to get an extension till Friday before I give my techy
recommendations for the project.....if anyone has any idea what's going
on here, please let me know a.s.a.p.

Thanks again
Paul.

Thanks Cameron,
		Have you tried printing a hardcopy ? It looks correct in
squiggle, but when I print it to A4 the right hand side of the image is
not on the edge of the paper, neither is the bottom. The image has been
scaled down to 200 x 288 mm, which isn't cool when you're trying to
print accurately to a somewhat expensive certificate. I've attached a
scan of the A4 result after printing your SVG to help clarify the
issue.(had to use serious compression to get through apache's mail
daemon....so apologies if it looks a bit naff)If you open it in
something with a grey background it is easy to see where the paper edge
is.

I'm not sure whether it's my printer doing some jiggery pokery. If
anyone would like to help diagnose this please use squiggle to print off
a hardcopy of the attached SVG ( making sure you set all the margins to
0.0 in the print dialog)

Cheers 
Paul.

Hi Paul.

Paul Carr:
    
Has anyone got an example portrait A4 SVG file that will print to all
extremities of the page from squiggle ?
      
This does:

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
       version="1.1" width="210mm" height="297mm" viewBox="0 0 210 297">
    <rect width="100%" height="100%"
          stroke="black" stroke-width="1" fill="none"/>
    <circle cx="0" cy="0" r="20"/>
    <circle cx="210" cy="0" r="20"/>
    <circle cx="0" cy="297" r="20"/>
    <circle cx="210" cy="297" r="20"/>
  </svg>

Note how the viewBox defines the area of the coordinate system that is
mapped into the 210mm x 297mm space.  In this case, one user unit is the
same as 1mm.

If you convert this file to a PDF you should see that it displays
properly on the A4 page, and that the rect and the mid-points of the
circles are right on the corners of the page:

  java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar a4.svg -m application/pdf -d a4.pdf
