Description C de-Avillez 2007-12-24 16:22:22 UTC 
Original Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/136228

Correct scaling of printer output is, right now, a hit & (mostly) miss operation: since Print Preview does not reflect the scaling selected, the only option for the user to to actually print (or generate PDF output) and check, then try again.

Instead print preview should be called with the selected scaling.
Comment 1 C de-Avillez 2007-12-24 16:28:30 UTC 
Also, it would help if the print dialog did not end when selecting "Print Preview". This is bug 479303, but I am unsure if I should set it as a depends here.
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:37:03 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2009-02-17 03:11:41 UTC 
Most of this outside of Evolution's control.  Evolution just draws to whatever Cairo surface it's given.  Recommend retesting and reassigning to GtkPrint if it's still an issue.
Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2009-09-14 20:22:58 UTC 
Hey hggdh :-)

Could you please retest and if this is still an issue reassign to GtkPrint as per comment 3?
Comment 5 C de-Avillez 2009-09-14 21:12:23 UTC 
oh boy, how didn't I notice Mattew's comment in February? Ah well.

Reassigning to GTKPrint, and bumping versions to current.
Comment 6 C de-Avillez 2009-10-22 22:48:42 UTC 
and, I forgot to state, it is still an issue. Setting back as NEW.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
