            Bug ID: 363788
           Summary: Fit to page printing does incorrect scaling and
                    unwanted offsetting
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.21.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: printing
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com

As a consequence of Bug 319476, Okular now tries to fit the document to the
page size when printing.  However, it doesn't work at all for me.  Trying to
print a PDF which uses a larger page size than the printer media results in the
document being scaled down far too small.  And trying to fit a PDF which uses a
smaller page size than the printer media results in the document being scaled
up the appropriate amount, but then offset several centimetres on the page,
resulting in much of it being cut off.

I have tried this with several different HP and Brother printers and always get
the same result.  By contrast, using CUPS's "lpr -o fit-to-page" works as
expected.  I also have no problems printing such documents with other PDF
viewers such as evince.

I will add several attachments to this report with sample A0 and A5-size
documents, along with scans of what happens when I use Okular and lpr to print
these on A4 paper.

Reproducible: Always
