Page Layout ⇒ Different Margins for odd and even Pages

[laailalalaa]

Hello,

I'm using the book document class, with "oneside" option, among others. Then I set the margins for my paper:

Code: Select all

\geometry{top=3.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.7cm}

In the PDF everything looks fine, but when I print the file I get marginvaluesA for even pages and marginvaluesB for odd pages. Neither marginvaluesA nor marginvaluesB are the values I set.

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Perhaps your printer or the printer driver software or settings, respectively, may be responsible the the different margins. Check the driver settings. Perhaps print into a PDF file (with a PDF printer driver) or into a PostScript file, to compare.

As the generated PDF file is correct, it's not a LaTeX problem.

Actually the PDF file was the problem. When checking Page Setup (after issuing a Print command), it didn't look so sexy any more, having different margins on odd / even pages.

In my case the problem was that, even though I specified an a4 format, the output had a letter format. I had to edit config.ps in MikTex to change this setting.

Hope it helps others too,
Cheers,
