Scores written in 1.3 do not print accurately to my physical printer.
Dell Latitude.
Win 7
Brother HL-22 printer
R7a67e63
STR:
Launch latest nightly.
Load score written in 1.3 where it prints with no problem.
Print to Cute PDF - PDF looks good on screen and prints to Brother properly.
Print directly to Brother - page 1 and page 2 are shifted to the right, leaving too much space on the left side and cutting off the right side.
File attached.

To me it seems a printer setting. Check if you selected "bookbinding" right / left
__________edit
If I launch Nightly and open the score I see that "repeat good on DS" and "open D.S. [thru] ..." are misaligned. But it seems not to influence the layout.
Something changes if imposed "Fit" (see attached ... and be patient)
(Delicate?)

Take a look, I Googled:

"... Incorrect Margin settings can be Caused by an incorrect paper size setting ..."
I think you have to do attempts
In reply to Take a look, I by Shoichi
Thanks again.
I do not think it can be printer settings because the printer works properly on all other programs AND prints properly when the score is written in a nightly.
It appears to me to be some sort of translation error between 1.3 and the nightlies.
I have experimented a lot and cannot find a solution so far.

If the mountain will not come to Mohammed ...
Settings page? About 12 mm?
In reply to If the mountain will not come by Shoichi
I have adjusted that parameter down 0 mm (see attachment). It does have a marked effect on the image in the screen, moving it to the left, but has NO impact on the printed result.
In the attachment you will see that I unchecked the "2 sided" option.
This also has had NO impact on the printing of both odd and even pages.
Does the score I attached earlier print properly on your printer? Can anyone reproduce?
In reply to I have adjusted that by xavierjazz
I exported your score as a PDF;
I exported your score as Pdf B;
Printer settings, launched by Pdf, are "Fit" (img. rilegatura B).
The last annex is a scan, for a comparison of the prints obtained.
The driver hl-2240 are updated, I guess

Well, it is shifted to the right a bit, maybe, at least quite close to the right bodderd, but printiong Letter on A4 this is to be expected, A4 is 5.9mm narrower (but 10.6mm longer)

As I said in the initial post, there is NO problem when I save it as a pdf and then print it. The problem is an inability to print properly DIRECTLY from Musescore.
:)
It is very odd that changing the left margin in the page settings has NO impact on the resulting printout to printer, although there is an obvious change in the score ON THE SCREEN.
In reply to As I said in the initial by xavierjazz
It does work for me, direct print, also with changed left margin
In reply to As I said in the initial by xavierjazz
I attach other tests and images (after set to A4 I do not know what else to do)
In reply to I attach other tests and by Shoichi
I've had the same issues with the nightly, but I've not done much direct printing as I usually work with PDF which always seems to work. With Xavierjazz' file in 1.3, it prints fine for me, centered. But in 2.0, with proper settings for margins and page size, printing to a networked HP LaserJet 4250, it is shifted over to the right about an extra 4mm, and about the same towards the top and bottom as though the page was taller and wider.
I will test again with a native 2.0 score... exactly the same about of top/bottom stretch, and right-shift as the OP's sample score. This with Letter page, 10/20 top/bottom margins and 10/10 left/right margins.
Windows 8.1u1 64bit. I have no control over the printer drivers as they are centrally managed in our Active Directory.
In reply to I attach other tests and by Shoichi
Okay, thank you all, I believe it is solved. I still need to check a few things but I have been able to successfully print a score as alluded to above.
The setting I am using at the moment in the page settings have worked. See attachment.
I cannot test further right now. I will update if there is a need to.
The great news is that it took less than a ream of paper. :)
Thanks again.

@ schepers: Exactly. Thank you.

I should have reported this when I saw it, but it was pre-beta 1 so I figured it would get sorted out. I will report what I get on my home printer & system, but it is a similar setup (except for the AD-managed printer & drivers).
In reply to I should have reported this by schepers
@ schepers.
Should I report it as an issue or will you?
In reply to @ schepers. Should I report by xavierjazz
I will, later today.
