I recieve construction drawings as pdf"s. These are ARCH D = 24x36 or ANSI D = 22x34. I view them in kpdf, I print them to my printer using Tabloid, paper size = 11x17.
Only an 8x11 image gets printed on the 11x17 page.. Can not figure out how to get the correct size image, seems like shrink to fit, or some such were options. Do not see any such in the kpdf print dialog.
Using krinter to print the same file it prints an 11x17 portion of the larger file size.
kpdf has a different print dialog than kprinter...?,
Using cups, server:/var/run/cups/cups.sock printer driver for my HP Offficejet Pro 8600: hpcups 3.12.6
Not a fix but have you tried using Adobe's Linux version of Reader? It is an olderversion but still seems to work in most distributions it may do what you need.

Thanks for the reply.
I do have solutions, evince and epdfview do the job. This is a core business function.
Tried TDE R14 with Wheezy, same...tried the newer hpcups driver and the older hpijs driver no joy.
I would prefer to use kpdf, probably used to work at some time, need to find out what changed. The devs are spending alot of time getting all the apps to work, afaikt, thought I would test ..again, kpdf. I usually use 'best of ' apps for business, it is getting harder to do with all the apps being part of desktop environments.

Officially confused,
Ledger=17"x11" Tabloid=11"x17" These are "North American paper sizes" Wikipedia
Ansi B defines the measurements as 11x17 with alias's of Ledger and Tabloid.
Print dialog of kpdf lists Ledger as 11x17, no Tabloid
Print dialog of Evince lists Tabloid as 17x11, no Ledger entry.
Both just the opposite of North American paper sizes, though I will not assume to know which standard the cups devs used..there are quite a few.

The fact that you don't acknowledge the existence of other paper sizes. Non-Americans know that the rest if the world exists. Many (most?) USA citizens don't.
And most of the world is Metric not Imperial.
Unless of course what you said was a joke. I'm not good at recognising jokes without a smiley.

No ! I am not from the USA, although I've been there several times.
Yes I agree that most of the world is metric, though paper sizes have been standardised for a good number of years. The USA does seem to have some odd sizes compared to Europe and 17x11 inches is not one that I am familiar with, though turning the page through 90 degrees would correspond to the descriptions I gave.
I think I will keep you guessing a little longer. :-) :-) :-)

Yes ! Linuxmaniac.net is a New York registered domain. But its is just one of several that I could use ! The name appealed to me so I got an Email account with them.

That may be how the cups devs (or is it the document viewer app devs?) see it. I was getting a bit distracted though with all the standards and such...the bottom line my 34x22 images are not resized correctly for 17x11 paper. They are being resized..printed as 8.5x11..orientation is correct.
Testing other document viewer apps : evince v.3.4.0-3.1 prints correctly in Debian Wheezy, TDE 3.5.13.2. The main difference is the print dialog box has a 'page handling' tab which contains 3 options, which are lacking in all other print dialog boxes I tested. 1. Page scaling: none;fit to printable area: shrink to printable area. 2.auto rotate and center 3 select page size using document paper size.
Okular in Jessie, KDE 4.11.x does not work for me, kpdf does not work in Squeeze either. I know the driver has the capability , I have an HP8600 Officejet Pro, HP supplies good drivers, afaikt.
Not a good sign that evince works for me in Wheezy but does not work in Jessie v 3.12.0-1..better stay with Wheezy

You don't say if you went to cups to set up your printer. For my HP CP1215 I get a possibility to define a custom paper size, I don't know if this could help.

To continue from lower (sorry. ;-( ), 17x11 is a size. (Called foolscap, among other names.) Portrait and Landscape are orientations. This suggests that everything except orientation is fixed and immutable. At least, that is what it suggested to me. From what you say, it is not what it was intended to suggest.

Don't worry about it at all. :-) I'm not in the least bit fussed.
As far as you thinking that I'm an American. I found that very amusing. Sorry for teasing you a little bit. :-) Anyway I'm a true blue, gods own county, Yorkshireman.
