Convert to PCL cut off

Post by sp00ff »

Hi,

IM 6.7.2-2. Fails with a windows error when converting postscript to pcl using

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 fullpage.ps fullpage.pcl
When using ImageMagick-6.6.9-6 the conversion works but the pcl file when printed is cut off on the right and bottom. Here's an example:

I have a MSWord doc formatted as A4 with very thin margins.

When I print it to file using a postscript driver i get the following output:

When sending the postscript to a postscript printer the output is fine.

When I convert the file to pcl-xl using this command

Code: Select all

convert -density 300 fullpage.ps fullpage.pcl 
the output looks like this when displayed with ghostpcl. (It is cut off on the right and bottom and the left and top margins are bigger, just like the printer)

Is this a bug or am I using the wrong command for version 6.6.9-6? Like I said, version 6.7.2-2 isn't working at all.

Thanks!
