I want to summarize how the problem appears when printing the file Dirichlet.pdf with okular. Find the file at: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=616147
1. with OpenSuse 13.1 and okular 4.11.2 the CUPS command was without the fit-to-page option following commands are executed: pdftops Dirichlet.pdf lpr Dirichlet.ps The file was printed unscaled but centered and the printout was useful. 2. with the actual OpenSuse 13.2 and okular 4.14.9 the CUPS command is now with fit-to-page and then the file is shifted to the right with half of the text cut this can be reproduced with following commands: pdftops Dirichlet.pdf lpr -o fit-to-page Dirichlet.ps This does not work since the BoundingBox values are incorrect. See explanation at CUPS documentation: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scaling to Fit The -o fit-to-page option specifies that the document should be scaled to fit on the page: lp -o fit-to-page filename lpr -o fit-to-page filename The default is to use the size specified in the file. This feature depends upon an accurate size in the print file. If no size is given in the file, the page may be scaled incorrectly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As mentioned in the opensuse bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=908624 ghostscript shows Bounding Box values that do work. Martin Pahl wrote a fix that calculates the correct page bounding values. With this fix above commands work without problem. 3. another solution for the printing with okular would be calling pdftotops -expand Dirichlet.pdf lpr -o fit-to-page Dirichlet.ps 4. also a lpr Dirichlet.pdf from the command line is working but this it is not the way as it is executed with okular 5. since it is not possible to disable the fit-to-page inside okular, all printouts of files with wrong BoundingBox values are scrap!!! 6. the ideal place to fix this is may be somewhere else but the solution from Martin fixes it for okular. 7. I had many files with this problems and since I am using the patch all my printing problems are gone Regards Stefan _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
