Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
When using evince to display and print pdf documents the margins and proportions are wrong.
As test pdf I used the Ubuntu CUPS test page. The pdf has been printed by using evince (scale is set to 100% and no options of the "View" menu are set) and lpr with two different printers (HP Laserjet 4200 and HP Officejet Pro 8500). I put the two prints (of the Laserjet) together and scanned them - the result is attached to this bug report.
When using evince the top margin is much larger than using lpr. Printing with Adobe Reader or printing the same document using Windows is just like printing with lpr. But it is not only the top margin. If you move the evince sheet so the two top margins are beside each other you can see that the rest of the document is out of alignment as well. Additionally (as you can see) the line thickness isn't the same.
This report isn't a duplicate of others that report from bad margins only when printing - the bad alignment can already be seen in the GUI.

There are reports that this is fixed in evince in Lucid. Are you able to boot the Ubuntu "Lucid Lynx" 10.04 Live CD and test?
