GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 350491
can't setup page size and margins
Last modified: 2006-11-09 12:12:34 UTC
Using the new gtk printing code, there's no way to set page format and margins.
I confirm this bug (evince 0.6.1, gentoo, gtk-print). Please fix it.
with gnomeprint those options were available in the print dialog but, are you sure they actually worked? I think page format and margins are not supported in evince, since the ps-exporter doesn't allow to specify those settings. If you confirm it's possible to implement it in evince I will fix it.
I hadn't checked whether they actually worked using gnome-print :-) Technically it should be possible to implement it in the ps exporter, by positioning/scaling the output page with some ps commands, but I have no idea how difficult that'll be.
I've just fixed it in cvs head. Evince has now a page setup dialog. Thanks for the report.
Carlos, but does it actually *work*?

Please reopen as it still doesn't work. For your peace of mind, I've confirmed that it works in an older evince (0.5.1). I've tried printing a letter document (8.5" x 11") to a A4 (8.27" x 11.69") printer. As an extra bonus, the printer says that the document it got is 10.87" x 7.76".
I've just committed a new fix. I think it's really fixed right now. Could you confirm it works now, please? I was using the wrong paper size because margins were taken into consideration.
Now it works nicely. Good work! :)
Thanks a lot for your help.
