Re: [Evolution] bad page layout when printing from Evolution

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

You need to say what version of Evo you are using to get any sort of
proper help here (note, that's Evolution version NOT your Linux
version).

[But I do note that you sent your email using Evo 2.28,3 - that is a v
old version and is no longer maintained - some people here may remember
problems or solutions with it, but there will be no updates or bug fixes
for that version.]

Evo just uses the Gnome printing system, so as far as I know there's not
much control of printing within Evolution.  But, it sounds as though
your printer isn't setup correctly on your system (i.e. not within
Evolution, but within your Linux setup).  If you do "Print Preview" does
it look OK?  Do other Gnome applications print OK?  From the printer
setup application, does a test page print OK?

Is it the same printer?  Are the printers setup on all the machines in
the same way with the same drivers?
