Bug#736586: cups printing ignores centering option and printing margins
Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Printing a PDF with insufficient own margins.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
First I printed the PDF (from evince) using the option "scale to paper size":
to the Printer (ML-2510).
The top and the borders at the left and the right side were cut off.
Next I scaled down the printing size and enabled the centering option: The
printing was scaled, but the top and left border were cut off again. No
centering!
Then I changed from the standard paper size to a custom paper size adding 15mm
to each border: It was Ignored.
After this I printed the File to CUPS-PDF in order to create a PDF with
sufficient margins for the printer. Same as above, scaling worked, but
centering and margins were ignored.
Thus it doesn't seem to be a problem of the individual printer driver but a
problem of cups or the cups dialog for printing.
