Description:

Printing results in the page being shifted 8mm to the right and up by 4.5mm as shown by the rectangular (print area?) outline of the CUPS Printer Test Page. My printer is a Brother DCP7065DN and I'm using the PPD supplied by aur/brother-dcp7065dn-cupswrapper-2.0.4_2-1. (I had an identical problem with the PPD supplied by Brother.) Printing from 'evince' is also shifted similarly.

I "fixed" the problem by redefining the Letter Imageable Area in /etc/cups/ppd/lp.ppd:

*ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 12 594 780" ==> *ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "0 0 594 774"

(18pt = 0.25in)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
brother-dcp7065dn-cupswrapper 2.0.4_2-1
cups 1.5.3-5
cups-filters 1.0.18-3
cups-pdf 2.6.1-1
cups-pk-helper 0.2.2-1
lib32-libcups 1.5.3-1
libcups 1.5.3-5
libgnomecups 0.2.3-10
system-config-printer-common 1.3.9-3
system-config-printer-gnome 1.3.9-3

* config and/or log files etc.

Reason for closing:  None
Additional comments about closing:  or maybe upstream or AUR pkg bug or whatever. I can't see a packaging issue here or how to solve and ivestigate this for your special device and driver.

What's the bug here when you are using an unsupported AUR ppd?

I've decided not to reply to your comment because I'd say something that I'd later regret.
