[11.10] -- I too am suffering from this white-margins, improper-scaling problem.
Printing a PDF file through the Evince document viewer may by default add white margins both on top and bottom and on both sides. (I have been able to reproduce this issue using PDF files created through the LibreOffice PDF-file export, for it to be noted.) One method to fix the issue -- and it seems to work for all cases in which a PDF file gets printed with too-wide margins, whether having or not been outputted through LibreOffice -- is to enable "select page size using document page size" by default. That way, it seems to me, PDF files would get printed the way they really were intended to be printed. Should it not, in that case, be best for that parameter to be selected in Evince right out of the box? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551480 Title: pdf: wrong proportions and margins Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evince When using evince to display and print pdf documents the margins and proportions are wrong. As test pdf I used the Ubuntu CUPS test page. The pdf has been printed by using evince (scale is set to 100% and no options of the "View" menu are set) and lpr with two different printers (HP Laserjet 4200 and HP Officejet Pro 8500). I put the two prints (of the Laserjet) together and scanned them - the result is attached to this bug report. When using evince the top margin is much larger than using lpr. Printing with Adobe Reader or printing the same document using Windows is just like printing with lpr. But it is not only the top margin. If you move the evince sheet so the two top margins are beside each other you can see that the rest of the document is out of alignment as well. Additionally (as you can see) the line thickness isn't the same. This report isn't a duplicate of others that report from bad margins only when printing - the bad alignment can already be seen in the GUI.
