Bug Description
Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, hplip package 3.14.3-0ubuntu3
With the hplip Ubuntu package, when printing with any A4 paper size (A4 / A4 small margins / A4 borderless), output is cut on the edges of the page (more than 1 cm is cut from each edge).
Using upstream hplip 3.14.4 downloaded from http://
Test case : remove printer from CUPS, setup printer with hp-setup then change paper size with CUPS, open LibreOffice, select printer and page size in "printer settings" dialog, set margins to the lowest allowed value in "format > page > page > margins", print page.
Tried with other apps than LibreOffice too.
After reviewing a few bug reports about margin issues with hplip, it seems the timeline for this problem is the following :
- margins were wrong in the ppd files from the original upstream packages
- Debian and Ubuntu included a patch to alter page size in the ppd files
- upstream fixed the margins size bug, thus causing a regression in Debian and Ubuntu packages
- Debian fixed their patch to work with the fixed upstream release [https:/
I'm not sure whether the fixed Debian patch has been ported to Ubuntu. I tried comparing the patches in the sources packages hplip_3.
I can add log files or ppd files if needed...
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
