Bug Description
When printing pdf files from evince or lpr the result is a pdf file that is offset and usually cliped at the top and right edge.
The following file was used
www.opensource.
from evince select scalling as none select auto rotate and center
the result is a printout that is shifted up and left so that hte lower and left edges can be seen
the expected result is that all sides should be clipped given the testfile prints at the extreme boarders
This only happens with 12.10. The printer works fine on 12.04 with the exact same drivers installed.
These drivers are installed on both computers. The printer in question is a Brother DCP7065DN
LPR driver deb 2.1.0-1 35 KB 2011.Apr.01
cupswrapper driver deb 2.0.4-2 13 KB 2011.Apr.01
downloaded from http://
This test file can be printed as expected from acroread. The difference I believe is that evince and lpr pass along PDF and acroread passes postscript. this was observed by doing a file on the /var/spool/cups/d*
This is also observed via libre office. when printing and one selects PDF for the 'printer language type' the offset is observed. if you select postscript from the 'printer language type' it prints as expected.
I also have a MFC-J4510DW that prints perfectly from 12.10 all applications mentioned.
Both printers have the latest firmware.
