Since working with Lion I've been getting a printing problem with PDFs to a particular printer.
I'm starting with a document in Word. The layout is fine, and if I print from Word the layout is preserved and I get a printout looking the same as what I'm seeing on the screen.
The issue comes when I do a file print, save as pdf... I get a PDF file that looks the same on screen as the Word document, but when I come to print the PDF, the print dialog window wants to scale the document to 92% (which is too small). If I set the scaling to 100% the top of the document gets cut off and the page is not centered top to bottom. The problem applies to any other PDF I try to print.
What's going here? I'm guess this has something to do with borders and my particular printer but I can't figure out what to do to correct it. Also this issue has arisen in Lion - it was fine in 10.6.
The printer I'm having the problem with is a HP 8000. My other printer is a HP 5100. I have three Macs and I get the problem with all three of them.
One other thing I noticed is that, when printing the PDF, if I initially select the HP5100, set the scaling to 100% and then select the HP 8000, it prints a full size page with no cut off, but the page is not centered properly top to bottom - the page is too high.
I'm confused - how come it prints from within Word and to another printer with no problems?
This has the feel of a bug - any input appreciated.
