Hi,
I'm trying to get cups to print using the correct pages sizes.
I'm running testing and using an hp laserjet 6l with the pcl-6
gimp-print driver.
The values for page sizes / imagable area / etc in the ppd file all
appear to be correct, but when I print a test page for cups, it gives
this (my default page size is set to A4):
Imageable Area
Page Size: 8.0x10.67in
203.2x270.9mm
Lower-Left: 0.25x0.17in
6.4x4.2mm
Upper-Right: 8.25x10.83in
209.6x275.2mm
The page sizes according to the ppd file (in /etc/cups/ppd/) are:
*DefaultPageSize: A4
*PageSize A4/A4: "<</PageSize[595 842]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*DefaultPageRegion: A4
*PageRegion A4/A4: "<</PageRegion[595 842]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*DefaultImageableArea: A4
*ImageableArea A4/A4: "18 12 577 830"
*DefaultPaperDimension: A4
*PaperDimension A4/A4: "595 842"
These values (in points I assume) match exactly what the printer
manual suggests, but fail completely to be what cups is using as per
the above imageable area data.
How can I make cups use the data in the ppd file rather than data from
its (colourful) imagination?
cheers
