Comment 7 for bug 924000

The workaround suggested earlier, using Preview from the printing page and printing from that, works. Prints the whole page with no missing top area. Seems strange, but it provides a way round the problem. How do I record that this problem is now ended? (I am not very conversant with the protocols - was born pre-war and have to struggle to keep up with the technology!)

Both sides and the bottom of the image print satisfactorily to within 4 mm of the paper edge. The problem does not arise if I save it as a .pdf document and print that (although the scale changes a little), so not a printer problem. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?
