printed files with to big borders

[Stefan Koch]

Binary package hint: evince

After installation from ubuntu 9.10, evince prints lot's of rubbish:
* often incorrect orientation (landscape format squeezed into portrai format)
* the printed file is scaled wrong (big borders about the page => smaller font size)

incorrect orientation is reported:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evince/+bug/430811
IMPORTANT: the bug is fixed in uubntu 10.04, but the big-borders-BUG isn't fixed
(NOTE: I use the lucid evince in karmic)

In 9.04 and 8.10 both bugs doesn't appear...
I was surprised after printing a script for university, the letters were smaller as in the printed script with ubuntu 9.04.

see into the right file: dok1_ORIGINAL.pdf
and the printed file (cups-pdf): dok1_BUG.pdf

The bug happens with an printer from HP, too (NOT only with cups-pdf).

Best regards

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

NOTE: The orientation problems could manually corrected -> File -> Page Setup...

I have the same problem but it's more distinguishable when we print a pdf of any document (even a text file) in to a pdf with 2 pages per sheets. the pages have a too big border... I will send exemple from jaunty where borders are acceptable and from Karmic where border are too big.

 I've tested with the last alpha realase of 10.04 with every updates. The bug is still there.

The new version is in Ubuntu, closing the bug
