I am getting totally frustrated with trying to print .pdf files. Here is my setup: Printer: HP1220 - Laser with post-script level 2 emulation Print driver: CUPS (the potato version - cupsys_1.0.4-9_i386.deb)
What happens is, I have heaps of trouble trying to stop the edges of pages being chopped off. It seems to print OK, but the top part of the document is missing. Yet there is a margin of some 7-8 mm at the top with nothing. I have tried passing -o page-top=70 arguments to the command. I even tried the following: lp -d hp1220-fullpage -o page-left=70 -o page-right=70 -o page-top=70 -o page-bottom=70 lect10-1.pdf But it made no difference to the output. Is there some GUI based application that will allow you to view and print .pdf files and adjust their margins etc.? I have tried the following: gv doesn't allow you to adjust margins and didn't help me. xpdf didn't have the right font capability or something since the page was all fuzzy and it printed mostly blank pages. acrobat reader (potato version) crashed. What do you use on a potato system? Thanks. Mark.
