ATTENTION: The link above is WRONG!!! Here ist the right one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/482230
Maybe I missed something but I can't reproduce the bug with Evince 2.29.2 (git master). Is the bug still here for you ?
Created attachment 148180 [details] The original file (created with openoffice)
Created attachment 148181 [details] the print resulution (with scale error) printed to cups-pdf
in connection with the two attachments: are the following packages: evince_2.29.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libevview2_2.29.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb libevdocument2_2.29.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
A similar but, like the bug sent by me: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/470793
A third one: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/477168
A fourth one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/483193
It's could also a bug in the gnome printing system, for more details see the fourth one... But with evince 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 it works without errors...
Ok, what I noticed from the several files you provided is that the size of the characters on dok1_ORIGINAL.pdf (comment 4) is slightly bigger than the one on job_181-dok1_ORIGINAL.pdf (comment 5). Where dok1_ORIGINAL.pdf is the original document and job_181-dok1_ORIGINAL.pdf is the one produced by CUPS. So, I can confirm that there is a slight squeeze of the font size (about 5-10%) between the original document and the CUPS one. I am using Evince 2.29.1 (git master). Marking this issue as 'NEW'.
I have now installed the following packages: evince_2.29.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb libevdocument2_2.29.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb libevview2_2.29.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb under ubuntu 9.10 from ubuntu 10.04 (not released) The other dependencies from 9.10 are not updated from 10.04 packages The error happens, too. With your installation of 2.29.2 it does not happen?
Sorry, my message wasn't clear enough. :) Yes, it does happen. I can see that there is a change in the size of fonts.
Will the bug fixed in the next version?
@Emmanuel @all in the version 2.29.3 of evince, the problem still occurs. When will the problem be fixed?
on ubuntu lucid (10.04)
The bug should be fixed in git master. Previously evince scaled pages to fit within the margins. I assume this was to a fix bug report where the edges of printouts were truncated due to the page content extending into the unprintable area. Now there is a new tab in the print dialog that allows the scaling to be enabled or disabled.
Thanks...
