eog doesn't use print size of picture

[Joachim R.]

Binary package hint: eog

When printing a jpg picture with eog, the print size is not the expected print size for this picture.
example : I have a jpeg photo of my ID card. The pixel size is 800x1120. Gimp report it to have a print size of 105,28x147,40mm with a 193pixel/in resolution. It is because the resolution was adjusted to match printing size with real size. When you choose to print with Gimp, the print preview and the actual printing are showing a real-sized ID card.
With eog, the print preview and the actual printing are showing a picture that take a full A4 page instead of only 105x147mm of the page.

So eog should use the recorded resolution of a picture to print right-sized picture instead of full-page picture (at least when resolution is recorded in the picture file and this resolution give a resulting size < page size).

This enhancement would be great as users (IMHO) expect to get a printed copy of a document with the same size as the original scanned document. So the resolution recorded in picture file by scanner software or by user with image manipulation software (gimp, photoshop, etc...) through an option like "printing size" sould pe used by the software used for printing (in our case eog).

Still present in Lucid. I think this bug deserves a higher priority, as printing of scanned documents is impossible (they should be the same size as the original scanned document).
