Public bug reported:
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.
