@Matthaus - I can confirm your issue on Karmic 9.10.

Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic i686
Package: evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2

However I don't think you are experiencing the same bug as Christoph. I think it's just a matter of the non-printable area of your printer being added to the margins of the document. I saw the same thing when I printed out Christoph's mexp-evince-scaling.pdf, but that was in addition to his main issue of part of the page being cut off.

When you say that your labels used to print and fit perfectly, are you referring to the same version of Ubuntu you are using now or a previous version? Or are you referring to a different printer? If it was a previous version of Ubuntu, which one?

If your printer supports full-bleed printing (printing right to the edge of the paper), you may be able to fix your issue by enabling this feature in the printer configuration. This will depend on whether the full-bleed option has been exposed in (supported by) the printer driver stack (cups + the .ppd file you are using).

Otherwise you may need to edit the files to have smaller margins to compensate.
