Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Just creating a page with a frame in LibreOffice-writer and printing it out results
in a downscale to appr. 90% of the exact measures. (I use that feature as a place
holder for photo). Checking the printer settings in "system-config-printer", tab
"Job properties" shows the chaeck-box "scale to fit page" de-selected. I cannot
check/unchech that box even though root-PW is requested and given.
Whatever I do, the page is always scaled down ihnoring measures as suppied within
the document by LibreOffice.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I found that there by default is an option in /etc/cups/printers.conf:
Option fitplot True
As it cannot be changed by "system-config-printer" I set it manually to "False"
and not suprising: it works. I get perfectly sized printouts.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The outcome unfortunately is that this manual setting in /etc/cups/printers.conf
is reset to "True" or, if I erase the whole line the Option is added again as
soon as I use the graphical printer configuration to apply changes. Th checkbox
does not report the actual setting instead it always resets to "True".
* What outcome did you expect instead?
This usefull tool to configure printers on XFCE4-dsesktop should work as exüpected
and as it did for years in Wheezy and still does.
