Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cups
The horizontal character size/pitch when printing text files is too large. It seems to be 60-70% of the expected value. For example, lp -o cpi=20 file.txt produces output with about 11 characters per inch horizontally (expected 20). Vertical spacing seems correct. The default output is 6-7 characters per inch (huge!). The documentation says: "The default characters per inch is 10." (see http://localhost:631/help/options.html?TOPIC=Getting+Started&QUERY=Text+Options#TEXTOPTIONS) I'll attach scans showing the incorrect character sizes. The printer is an HP 3030 LaserJet multifunction, connected via USB and auto-configured by CUPS. I tried deleting the printer from CUPS and adding it back as Foomatic/Postscript but the behavior did not change.
