I can comment on this too, Evince prints a document partially, it is missing the extreme upper and lower parts on paper but not in the preview. In XPDF the whole document IS printed! So one can conclude that it is not the printer driver and not the printer, in my case a HP 8150, unless of course XPDF uses a different approach to print the document, whatever setting I try in the preview. The next weird thing is that Evince always prints an extra empty page, no matter what I try to set.
In Evince, embedded photos show broken up in several parts with thin white lines in between them, this, however is not always the case so must depend on the original embedded material used. In XPDF that is not the case with the same material. Needless to say that Adobe's viewer is doing this right too.
If this is a case of Evince 2.30.3 in Lucid, my question is: Why can't this be updated? I know...switch to Precise...but Precise has the problem of not willing to use my Epson V500 scanner and Lucid does... And Lucid is also still LTS...
