Since this morning, I can't print in full size portrait. No matter how I fiddle the printing options, reboot the computer, restart the printer, the hard copy always comes out half size, 2 pages per sheet side. This happens when I use LibreOffice Writer, Gedit or when printing PDF documents. I have seen a few questions about this topic but none of the solutions corrected the situation.

I am running on Xubuntu 14.04 and my printer is Canon Pixma MP180

  • did you edit the work options in system-config-printer? – feligiotti Oct 03 '14 at 21:06
  • I am a noob so maybe I did but without knowing it. – frepie Oct 03 '14 at 23:22
  • Don't worry :) go there: in a terminal write system-config-printer -then click on your's printer icon (canon pixma) -then work options -then change "page for edge" to 1. Sorry, my OS isn't in english, so maybe the last commands shall be a bit different. Did it work? – feligiotti Oct 03 '14 at 23:42
  • Everything worked up to "page for edge". I don't see anything that would fit the meaning of the expression. here is the proposed choices: `Unknown value for media-col: (unknown IPP value tag 0x34) Choices: [u'media-bottom-margin', u'media-left-margin', u'media-right-margin', u'media-size', u'media-source', u'media-top-margin', u'media-type'] Selecting from choices: media-bottom-margin` – frepie Oct 04 '14 at 15:04
  • I don't know where to go from there – frepie Oct 04 '14 at 15:10

Ok, I finally decided to delete the printer and re-add it and it corrected the issue.

I solved the same problem unchecking the "Auto Rotate and Center" option.
