[cups.general] ImageableArea for scaling

[Michael Sweet]

David,

The following command will set the default for the queue:

    lpadmin -p printer -o fit-to-page-default=true -o fitplot-default=true

and if you have access to the client sources you can just add boolean attributes with those names to the print job request.

From CUPS web interface, I cannot find it in all printers, HP has similar option but it did not exist for Kyocera. The only way it worked for me was through system-config-printer; it can select “Scale to fit” under “Job Option”

However, this did not work for Kyocera. I would like to know is it CUPS’s job to do the actual scaling or it is up to the printer to do the scaling?
