CUPS-pdf

[monkshood]

My file created with CUPS-pdf has the output on the right side truncated. The paper size is A0 and I have tried using various options like changing the orientation to landscape and setting the right page margin -o page-right=54 without any success. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi. Try using options with lpr. Example
lpr -P Cups-PDF -o cpi=19 -o lpi=13 -o page-left=31 -o page-right=37 filetoprint

where:
Cups-PDF is your "printer PDF" and -o means options
cpi: char per inch
lp lines per inch
the other are obvious, (margins)
filetoprint, the filename to print on your pdf printer

I hope be useful.

Thanks rbarrios, have tried the command above without success, it still truncates the right side. I increased the right margin to 50 again - no change.

ummm, did you try printing "any file" to your cups-pdf printer? please do a lp -d yourprinter /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf, works?

Hi rbarrios, thanks for your reply - here's the output

# lp -d CUPS-pdf /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
# request id is CUPS-pdf-60 (1 file(s))

The output from CUPS-pdf is fine for the default A4 and A3, however it truncates A1 and A0. Hope this helps.

hi, please check definitions for A1 and A0, ummm did u try for example with openoffice and a "real" printer? works?
