Using GhostPCL 1.53 we observed that for the pcl file attached to this defect, the spacing in the output file (tiff backend was used) is larger.
Created attachment 4627 [details] sample.pcl

I am afraid this problem is not likely to be solved without considerable effort. The vertical spacing is reset after receiving the request for a paper size change to "legal". The spacing should be reset if the previous paper size is not legal and should not otherwise. In our interpreter other difficult to emulate problems were alleviated by resetting vertical motion irrespective of paper state change. The usual protocol in the pcl language is to set the paper size first, then change the spacing, in this case our interpreter will match the HP, a case can be made that the pcl (sample.pcl) is ill-formed or we can research what other problems will be created by changing the behavior to fix this bug. A project of probably 2 weeks duration. Please discuss this with Miles or Marcos, I was informed there are business issues to be resolved before starting projects with customer 460.
I reopened this defect since I need a resolution for it. Thank you
Hello. I would need the signature problem to be fixed by 8/21, since the product being integrated in is going to exit from test. Is this achievable? Thanks
No I don't think that date is possible, even if we started today. I haven't been given the go ahead to start working on this issue at customer priority so I am reassigning to support until that is resolved.
Fixed in rev 10274.
Could you please tell me how can I get code modified in rev 10274? Thank you.
