Printing gif image cuts off in half

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Sending image to print (1Z642V7X0391526769.gif)

2. This is what I'm getting (1Z642V7X0391526769_result.gif screenshot)
it cuts off half of the label

Is it possible to print to fit on the page?

Thank you.

What you've just exposed is a bug with image scaling.

The image that you are printing is the largest I've seen in the bug reports, 
1400x800 pixels and when divided by 72dpi, it still is larger than a standard 
sheet of paper.

For now, you should be able to use something like GD or ImageMagic (PHP) to 
scale the image before sending to the applet.  50% size seems to fit pretty 
nicely.

I'm leaving this bug open because future versions of applet should be able to 
do scaling automatically.

I did what you advise but now the image comes up blurry. It comes up to fit on 
the page. Is there any way to set Print The Actual size?

Thanks in advance.

Not currently.  A code enhancement could support this.  If you have a deadline 
you need this feature by, please email tres.finocchiaro@gmail.com and we can 
discuss options.

Could you please give a hint how to fix this issue? We are using jZebra in our 
application and currently scaling doesn't work properly.

@mezerny:

Its been a while since I've used PHP to scale images, but either GD or 
ImageMagic are server-side solutions that may be able to help.

As the OP suggested, some blurring may occur.

If you are not using PHP, there should still be a solution.  It will be the 
same library that does thumb-nailing for your application.

Work should begin on this bug soon, so please "star" it in the top left corner, 
and you will be notified of any changes.
