Printout smaller than original
Reply Quote
Hi,

When printing directly to a HP Color Laserjet 3500 all is fine, when i print with ePrint the page seems a bit compressed.

I use the same page size. I've tried multiple resolution settings, but i don't get the same printout. Any ideas?

In general, you should set the paper size and orientation of ePrint to be identical to the printer, but you should normally set the margin emulation to ePrint, not a different driver.

Also, try to increase the printing resolution of both print drivers to a high value such as 300 or 600.

In all cases, re-routing through ePrint will cause creation of a new print job. This means different printer drivers might produce slightly different output.

I had the margins emulate to ePrint, but that did not work, so i tried to emulate the printdriver (thought i saw that option somewhere on the forum). Page size and resolution are the same, but still the printout is scaled down a bit.

I also tried to create a papersize slightly larger than A4, but that did not solve the problem.

Any ideas?

Gr. Stefan

Stefan, I tried to reproduce this using an HP laser printer (different model, though) by printing from Adobe Acrobat either directly or through ePrint. I get a different result, since the re-routed printing actually caused a slightly larger output instead of slightly smaller. This means the problem is probably dependent on the printing application, the printer model, or both. If you print from Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, what results do you get exactly? I used the attached PDF file. Also, please tell me which version of Acrobat you used.
