When the printing application produces PostScript the printing system prints it by default "as is", in particular the size specified in the PostScript file. See the "Scaling to Fit" section in http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/options.html or follow the "SEE ALSO" section in "man lpoptions" which points to "man lp" and then the "COMMON JOB OPTIONS" section there. Regarding a2ps, according to "man a2ps" you can specify "--medium=NAME" to use the output medium NAME which are defined in /etc/a2ps.cfg. In /etc/a2ps-site.cfg there is ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Default medium Options: --medium=LC_PAPER ----------------------------------------------------------------- so that the default medium in a2ps depends on your locale which works for me as expected: ----------------------------------------------------------------- # export LC_ALL=de_DE # export LANG=de_DE # echo de_DE | a2ps -1 -o /tmp/a2ps.de_DE.ps [stdin (unformatiert): 1 Seite auf einem Blatt] [Insgesamt: 1 Seite auf einem Blatt] in die Datei `/tmp/a2ps.de_DE.ps' geschrieben # export LC_ALL=en_US # export LANG=en_US # echo en_US | a2ps -1 -o /tmp/a2ps.en_US.ps [stdin (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet] [Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] saved into the file `/tmp/a2ps.en_US.ps' burns:~ # grep '^%%BoundingBox' /tmp/a2ps.*.ps /tmp/a2ps.de_DE.ps:%%BoundingBox: 24 24 571 818 /tmp/a2ps.en_US.ps:%%BoundingBox: 24 24 588 768 ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
