-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht Ende----- Sorry if this should be a "thred breaker" but I haven't yet been accepted by another mailer (ip problem it seems). So, to make it short: I am using 42.1 and Lexmark. With 13.1-13.2 no problems. But with 42..1 I had quite a few with scaling. It boils down to the point that with 13.2 and before, the printersettings in the printerfirmware where ingnored or overridden. With 42.1 if there is Legal in the firmware of the printer as size and A4 in the settings of yast.....the thing prints badly formatted.
The only YaST setting I ever use wrt printers is the first one to activate network printers, otherwise I never use YaST for anything printer-related. Anyway, according to the web-interface on the printer, it has A4 in the two input tray, and C5 in the multi-form feeder (for envelopes). Normally every print-job could ask for a different size and a different media.
When I did find out and corrected, within the firmware, to A4, the problem stopped. This could also be your case. Look if you do not have B4 or B5 setted for what ever reasons in your printer firmware.
I'm not sure where to look for that. The scaled down output looks like it could be A5 size, but it was also shifted about 2cm to the right, cutting off those 2cm.
Or if it is et to "enveloppe".
It looks too small for C5.
With me that caused disturbances in 42.1 that did NOT manifest before with the very settings. Hope that helps. Controll also the settings in yast.
I'll check.
There are no page-size related settings in YaST for this printer. It's all about whether it is the default and which driver to use (currently 'raw').

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht Ende----- Sorry for being intrusive, in what way you talk to the printer? TCP, IPP, LDP, IPP via CUPS? Raw has sometimes some issue (e.g. if you use a printserver at home you will find that with the AVM Fritzbox you may run into issues with raw, with other servers it may depend on the producer) but mainly due to limitations of the protocol itself. You said you did print the very same(!) document in 13.2 and it worked? Or did you print other documents and they print out well. I trust you did try with another old one (pdf), known to work, to check if this is pdf or raw related? When I had a problem with AVM I changed from IPP to LDP. It was at the time a bit tedious because I had to find out the right setup but worked afterwards. But my Printer was on the usbport of the Fritzbox and the communication via ethernet. I think the most important would be first to check with another PDF, if you haven't done it already of course. If the PDF was created with some special adobe software a vendor lock in is possible. Some of the adobe formats are not working well with OSS (guess why).

No problem - the printer is hooked up via our central printserver, and the clients probably speak ipp to that.

Yes, it works fine from Windows, from openSUSE 10.3, from 12.x from 13 [12] and from Leap421. Okay, I've only tested exactly the same doc from 13.1 and from leap42x.

I printed out an old boardingpass for instance, still came out scaled down.

The PDF was created with Libreoffice on openSUSE 12.3. I'm sure this is not document related. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
