Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
Evince 2.28.1 (in Ubuntu 9.10) will not print without scaling the PDF document incorrectly.
Using measurements right off a sheet of standard blank business cards and a JPG guide from Avery, I created a set of basic business card templates in Inkscape. Output to PDF, Adobe Acrobat Reader will print the PDF so the images fit on the sheet of pre-punched cards.
Evince will not; it appears to be unable to print "full-sheet" and instead it scales and centres the image incorrectly.
Acrobat Reader has options to disable this behaviour, and will print correctly. Evince needs similar options.
Evince is a great on-screen PDF viewer, but acroread is currently required for accurate PDF printing, which is unfortunate.
