Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Xreader with the attached Kizuna and ACL5 PDFs on the reported Epson L220 setup, then compare the output with Evince. Trace the printing path used by Xreader and identify why the image is horizontally overprinted. Done means the PDFs print once with no offset while preserving the expected on-screen output.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
* Xreader version: 2.8.3
* Distribution : Mint 20.1, Cinnamon 4.8.6, Linux Kernel 5.11.0-36-generic
* Printer: Epson L220 inkjet printer
Issue
When printing, the image appears to be printed twice, the second offset horizontally by about 1mm, from the first
Steps to reproduce
Take a PDF (tested with PDFs from LibreOffice Write and MS Excel) and attempt to print it.
Expected behaviour
Should print what is seen on screen with no overprinting.
Other information
Printing from other applications (including Evince) does not display this problem. Also the problem appeared only recently, in the last 1-2 months. However, I do not have a version history. I normally apply all updates within one or two days.
Happy to provide other information if given a steer on what to look for
