Re: Differences in page and paper size between PDE and PM

Robert,

The answer lies in the way the printing system translates the client-side PaperInfo ticket to the CUPS media option value and back again to a server-side PaperInfo ticket. In the case of a document formatted for the generic printer's US Letter, the printing system sets the CUPS media option value to na-letter on the client side. On the server side, the printing system scans your PM's PaperInfo array looking for a match. In your case it looks like the closest match is a PaperInfo ticket with a page rect {0.0 0.0 643.3 576.2}. I am surprised your PM registered a PaperInfo ticket for US Letter with such a large top or bottom margin.

When I select Format for Any Printer, Paper Size US Letter from an app,
I see an unadjusted page rect of {0.0, 0.0, 734.0, 576.0} from the PDE
but {0.0, 0.0, 643.3, 576.2} from the PM when I get this info from the
paper info ticket under OS X 10.2.6. Why do the values differ?
