This is not a Poppler issue. It has been an evince issue for a long time.
If you enable EV_SCALE_SHRINK_TO_PRINTABLE_AREA or
EV_SCALE_FIT_TO_PRINTABLE_AREA, then ev_print_operation_print_draw_page
calls _print_context_get_hard_margins, which provides the hardware
margins of the printer.
The scaling is then calculated so the entire image fits inside the
printer margins.
Sometimes you want this. Sometimes you don't - if your document is
formatted at 8.5"x11", sometimes you want it to print at exactly the
right scale (100%) onto 8.5"x11" paper, with the edges trimmed off
(where printing is impossible).
evince should offer a choice. It does not, currently. Which is sad :-(
Indeed? That explains why it is offset differently at home and at work.
The nicer LaserJet has smaller physical print margins.
I my case, I hardly ever want the image scaled to the output size, since
I often print things that have to be sub-mm-perfect (painting masks for
models, scale rulers, etc).
Judging by the defines you mentioned, this is simply a UI issue? Or did
it happen when we moved away from GnomePrint (?) to the new common
printing interface?
Thanks for the input.
