Title:
Evince ignores custom page size margins
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Affects 12.04 Precise. This appears identical to bug #348202
"Impossible to print to custom page size in Evince".
Evince doesn't respect a custom paper size with a reduced margin ( for
printing on pre-printed paper).
Using a HP Deskjet 995C A4 ink-jet printer with duplexer which
contains pre-printed A4 paper stock. This paper has a printed border
down the left side. Avoiding it requires the page to use a 40mm left
margin.
I need a custom paper size based on the A4 210x297mm size with margins
12.7, 12.7, 40.0, 3.2 mm.
In Evince I did:
File > Print... > General > Printer = DESKJET-995C
> Page Setup > Paper size > Manage Custom Sizes... >
Margins from Printer... > DESKJET-995C
Paper Margins: Left = 40.0
Name = Sunshine Border
> Close
> Paper size = Sunshine Border
>Print
The result is as if printing to the standard A4 paper-size. The left
margin is not honoured.
I found that Gedit does honour the margin. For more information see
also my comment no. 60 on a related high-priority bug #998156 "GTK
Print dialog sends broken custom page size attribute:
"PageSize=Custom.Custom.<width>x<length>""
