cupsd, brother hl-2040, acroread margins off

hedpe · 01-20-2007, 10:18 AM

Hi,

I recently got a hl-2040 printer and setting it up in cups took like 5 minutes. I printed test pages from cups, openoffice, and all seemed fine. But when I print anything from acroread, it adds ~1 extra inch to the top margin and pushes the whole page down so the bottom of the text is right up on the edge of the bottom of the page. It seems to be the only application that does this... anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
George

a little more information...

from the command line if i do "lpr blah.pdf" it prints perfectly

if i open the pdf in gv and print it, it prints perfectly

it seems to be an acroread problem? I've never had this problem on any of my other machines, however they have different printers.

I can settle for using gv ... i need to manually duplex my pages front and back, so i need to print odd and then print even pages, i don't know how to do this from command line. I can do it using gv though by marking pages for print.

actually, gv does not print the text as clearly, in fact the text is very hard to read when printed by gv... so i would really like to solve this acroread problem

Have you by chance looked at this: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_pr...rother-HL-2040

I also have the HL-2040 but I have fixed the alignment problem. Hope this helps you out.
