I have software that generates PDFs and sends them to print via the lp program. The same PDF prints slightly different to 2 different printers. The font and margins are different.

How can I standardize the margins and font between the two printers? Is this just a difference in the drivers for each printer?

Before you suggest it, the page-top etc options do not have any effect.

All printers have their default settings and no two printers print exactly the same. If you want them to print the document out exactly I would start by looking at each of the printers Margin settings.

  • to set margins on command line, use lp -o page-left=value -o page-right=value -o page-top=value -o page-bottom=value filename where value is in points (1/72")
