I have closed this as invalid while I do more work investigating. Using the latest version of hplip improves things. Then only a very small amount is clipped off the bottom. This may be a local printer hardware related problem.
However the main reason I raised this bug was to clean away some of the uncertainity in investigating duplex printing related problems with gui applications such as Evince and Adobe reader. Both of these do not shrink pages properly when asked to in the print options, but the clipping is different in each case. Setting LogLevel debug in cupsd.conf shows that the fit-to-page option is not being passed on to the filters in these cases. For information more detailed logging can be enabled by setting hpLogLevel 1 in cupsd.conf this logging is directed to the systen logging daemon (rsyslogd in later ubuntu versions). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422007 Title: Photosmart_6510.ppd A4.Duplex PageSize shifts Postscript userspace 3mm up page Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: The default hpcups driver ppd for HP Photosmart 6510 printers when used with the A4.Duplex PageSize (or any other related PageSize) shifts the Postscript userspace coordinate system 3mm up the page on all pages of single sided prints and on odd numbered pages of duplex prints. Even numbered pages of duplex prints are correctly positioned on the paper. This can be seen by printing that attached test file a4test.pdf using lpr on an HP 6510 printer and probably on other similar printers using the same basic driver and ppd layout. lpr -P Photosmart_6510 -o PageSize=A4.Duplex -o Duplex=None a4test.pdf and lpr -P Photosmart_6510 -o PageSize=A4.Duplex -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble a4test.pdf This is making it very difficult to diagnose/resolve the other (possibly gtk related) clipping problems when duplex printing using this driver.
