[reportlab-users] Printing problems

[Mark Saward]

Hi,

I'm having troubles with a pdf output I've created.  It's to print on sticker 
labels, each label being 38.1mm * 21.2mm.  When I print this, I need to turn 
off scaling, but then it prints perfectly into the boundaries of the 
stickers.

However, I take this to other printers and suddenly it no longer prints 
correctly...offset, like the margins are not correct.  The interesting thing 
is, my script to generate the pdf is using exact measurements for the sticker 
width+height, the bottom of the page and the left of the page to the start of 
the stickers.  In other words, I use measurements to create the pdf, not 
trial and error to fit the printer that works.

Why wouldn't this work?  Do some printers not print exactly?  I think that 
only 1/4 printers tried so far works correctly.

The other question I have is if it's possible to specify within a pdf to 
disable scaling for a pdf by default?  It seems to use scaling as a default 
option.

Thanks,
Mark Saward
