PDF renders fine in Acrobat but when printed fonts are huge [SOLVED]

I'm playing with SynPDF and generating a sample report with the code at http://synopse.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=41.  The produced PDF previews fine, and if I save it to a PDF file using the ExportPDF method, the resulting PDF looks the same in Acrobat as it does in the Preview window.

When I print the PDF however, (on a HP LaserJet P4015, A4 paper). all the dimensions are scaled up by a factor of roughly 2.  The PDF still paginates as if the font sizes/line heights were correct, but the actual printed lines are double size and truncated on the right and bottom edges.

What do I need to set to get the scaling correct?

Thanks,
Ross

Does it occur only with the PDF generated by SynPDF?

I've never seen such a problem...
Sounds more like an Acrobat and/or printer problem.
Did you try with another reader like http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/ ?

<redface>  False alarm.  The printer had lost its marbles and a restart of the printer fixed the problem. </redface>

Sorry to waste your time.  You may wish to delete the thread, or it might be useful if it happens to anyone else.

Thanks,

We usually never delete threads - only if it is SPAM (which almost never occurs).

In fact, this thread may be useful to anyone else..
