Hallo!
The following:
-------
\definepapersize [RM] [width=170mm,height=240mm]
\setuppapersize [RM] [A4]
\setuplayout [marking=on, location=middle]
\starttext
Bla
\stoptext
-------
results in 163mm width and 230mm height.
What is wrong here?
A second observation: file 'rm.tex' with
\startenvironment rm
...
\stopenvironment
is not found
in 'test.tex' with
\environment rm
...
renaming to 'whatever' helps
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang
Compiling with:
ConTeXt ver: 2006.06.09 13:05 fmt: 2006.6.15 int: english mes: english
I get the correct output on a HPlaserjet2100. The only option chosen is
auto-center and autorotate.
Make sure, that your printer does not perform any scaling.

The proportions 210/170=1.235 are ok on screen!
Printing with ghostscript is ok too.
Printing with acrobat is the problem.
Obviously this is not a context problem. Soory!

Sorry, I was a bit crpytic before. There is a checkbox
in your Acrobat Reader print setup dialog that says
"shrink pages to fit" or something similar. Uncheck it,
and all will be good.

in addition: there are also options for auto-page size selection, rotation etc, so it makes sense to spent soem time playing with that; if you have transparencies etc you may want to configure flattening

acrobat talks with the printer driver and scales down to let the page fit into the printable area; you can disable this in the pribter settings
