When the paper size is specified to be smaller than A4, then the
left and right margins outside the specified page dimensions are not
left white, but instead are filled with random patterns and images,
probably from uninitialized memory locations.

Printer type: Samsung ML-1520P
Driver type as reported by Cups: Samsung ML-1520, 1.0
Page size used: A5

Hi Endel, Carlos

you submitted a bug report against splix to debian some time ago [0].
Could you check whether it still applies to the present version of splix?

Thanks,

Luca

I tested SpliX V. 2.0.0 with Samsung ML-1640 on Ubuntu 10.10.
The problem is still present.
Here is a picture of test page, printed on A4 paper using landscape A5
paper settings:

thank you

I see.
If you were using A5 paper sheets, you wouldn't see the garbage on the
sides; I wonder if it would waste the toner anyway.
