HP Deskjet 2050 J510 crops A4 sized documents

[Uno Engborg]

I'm running hplips 3.11.3a on Fedora 14 i686.
The size of the printing area is more close to letter than to A4 if I select the A4 size.
The problem occurs both in portrait and landscape mode. In landscape mode the missing parts are at the left side of the printed document, and in portrait mode it occurs at the bottom of the page

I forgot to mention that the ppd used was the hp-deskjet_2050_j510_series.ppd.

Using the hp-deskjet_2050_j510_series-hpijs.ppd instead gives better result, but there is still a about a millimeter missing, and on Fedora this whould require the hplip packages to be recompiled using the configure --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install flag.

Hi,

Can you please try this?

 Edit your ppd file from /etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-2050-J510-series.ppd as below:
- *PageSize A4/A4 210x297mm: "<</PageSize[595.44 841.68]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
+ *PageSize A4/A4 210x297mm: "<</cupsInteger0 26/PageSize[595.44 841.68]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

In CUPS 1.4.6 PCL paper size is taking from the 'PageSize' option and code for the 'PageSize' option does not set the PCL papersize("/cupsInteger0 XX")

Thanks and Regards

Works just fine :-)
