[Bug 1184663] Re: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x
When I print a PDF from Evince I get a large top margin which cuts of the top and bottom text, even when reduced to 90%. Printing from qpdfview lets me adjust the margins in Properties and the document prints properly. Given this, it seems to be an Evince and other applications bug with a lack of advanced settings prior to printing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184663 Title: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1184663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug or rather feature is located in the postscript conversion script '/usr/local/Brother/Printer/HL2270DW/lpd/filterHL2270DW' on line 23. When the variable PCL is set to '1', device dependent instructions are enabled within the script, sent before the actual postscript data, and thus the printing begins at the new printable area as indicated by the coordinates as defined in the conditional if block starting on line 108.

[Bug 1184663] Re: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x
I have been affected by this for years while printing from Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) via a FreeBSD (9.2 for what matters) CUPS server (versions 1.5.x to 1.7.x at least). I have two printers: HP Laserjet 1320 and HP Deskjet 5550 which are installed via CUPS on the FreeBSD server and shared with the Linux CUPSes (1.5.3 from precise). Printing via the Foomatic/HPIJS drivers HP-LaserJet_1320-hpijs.ppd and HP-DeskJet_5550-hpijs.ppd always gave me unacceptably wrong printout margins (shifted more than 1 cm right and up). The generic PCL driver provided by CUPS never had this problem, but of course would not take advantage of any advanced printer features. Running the command hinted by Till in post #6 lpadmin -p printer_queue -o pdftops-renderer-default=pdftops on the FreeBSD server (NOT on the Ubuntu Linux clients!) for every printer installed there solved the problem completely. Many thanks for that. The server now runs CUPS-1.7.2 and shares its printers with the Linux CUPS-1.5.3 via cups-browsed in total harmony and I always get correct margins. Let me emphasise once more that in my case this bug was NOT caused on the side of Ubuntu 12.04 (CUPS 1.5.3 ) but on the side of the FreeBSD server (CUPS 1.7.2). However this seems to suggests that the root of the issue goes upstream ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184663 Title: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1184663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Fiorenzo, do you have a utility named brprintconf_...? Try bu entering brprintconf in a terminal window and instead of Enter press Tab, if needed two or three times. If it gets completed or alternatives for completing it get shown, you have such a utility. Then run brprintconf_your_model -pt A4 in the terminal window. In case of errors try to get info via brprintconf_your_model -h or brprintconf_your_model --help Or try sudo brprintconf_your_model -pt A4 Replace your_model by the completion of the command which you got by pressing Tab in the beginning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184663 Title: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1184663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1184663] Re: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x
Fiorenzo, first to say is that the problem is not in Poppler, as the PDF-PS transition needed for Brother's driver is done by Ghostscript.

Many people are affected by this bug but nobody subscribes this bug report, this way it isn't going to be fixed. Most people prefer generic PCL drivers but with these drivers you can't take advantage of all the features of your printer, in fact you are limited to a 600dpi resolution, you can't use the toner saving etc. I've tried several generic PCL drivers and the best is Foomatic/hpijs- pcl5e (for HL-2170W), it handles the margins correctly. However also Foomatic/ljet4 and Foomatic/ljet4d work well with margins. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184663 Title: Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1184663/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
