Comment 17 for bug 509652

OK, I think I understand now. Thanks for your patience.

Regarding comments #9 and #10, as you said, I think it is best to forget about the .ps files, they just confuse us. I concur that there are 12 red vertical major grid lines and a further four green lines to the right of the twelfth line. It looks like the red line on the left is visible in the evince-print-preview.png screenshot however. I think it was also present when I printed the .pdf file on paper.

As you say, your main issue is that Evince shrinks the page. I understand this better now. It is perplexing that Adobe Reader and Xpdf are nearly printing to the edge of the paper (1.5 mm margins all around according to the printable area) and Evince is not. I'm not sure why Evince is adding extra margins - I agree that it should not.

The good news is that it seems to be fixed in 10.04 alpha 2 - see attached screenshot. I'm just printing a couple of test pages on paper and then I'll go to 9.10 and compare.
