[Users] geoext Printprovider bad request

Oh yes, I made scale change on my test server the other day and forgot to update my production server.
I just updated my production config.yaml and restarted my server. My config.yaml scales are rounded, at the moment, when I use the exact scales given below I am unable to generate a pdf. I am taking your suggestion and going back to my test server for more work.

Hi Ralph!

I'm also suspicious about the width and height.
If I compare the scales of your test-app and the scales of your printcapabilities, they do not match.
Try to set the same scales in your print config.yaml as the application has:

mapPanel.map.layers[0].scales = [433344.01634946937, 216672.00817473468, 108336.00408736734, 54168.00204368367, 27084.001021841836, 13542.000510920918, 6771.000255460459, 	3385.5001277302295, 1692.7500638651147, 846.3750319325574, 423.1875159662787, 211.59375798313934];

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Bernhard

Unfortunately I am still unable to  print my layers from geowebcache. Here is some code snippets and a link to a demo page.

 Any more pointers will be appreciated.  The pdf will not contain my gwc layers, otherwise all is well.

My gwc layer

baseLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(

'gwc', 'http://gis.catawbacountync.gov/geoserver/gwc/service/wms', {

layers: ['catawba:nc_cities2'],

transparent:'true',

format: 'image/png',

tiled:true

   },{

isBaseLayer: true,

buffer: 1,

tileSize: new OpenLayers.Size(256,256),

//tileOrigin: (-20037508, -20037508),

visibility: true,

displayInLayerSwitcher: false

});

My print provider and print page

printProvider = new GeoExt.data.PrintProvider({

method: "POST",

url: 'http://gis.catawbacountync.gov/geoserver/pdf',

autoLoad: true,

listeners: {

 "loadcapabilities": function () {

printProvider.setLayout(printProvider.layouts.getAt(0));

    },

"printexception": function(printProvider,response) {

      alert("An error has occurred: " + response.statusText);

    }}

});

printPage = new GeoExt.data.PrintPage({

printProvider: printProvider,

customParams: {

mapTitle: "gwc print",

comment: ""

}});

My print tool

action = new Ext.Action({

text: "Print",

scale: 'medium',

tooltip: "Print map - PDF",

handler: function() {

printPage.setCenter(map.getCenter());

printPage.fit(map, {mode: "closest"});

printProvider.print(mapPanel, printPage);

},?

You can use gwc?s wms, just not as a single tile layer:

tileSize: new OpenLayers.Size(256,256)

is a _required_ config property of the layer(s) you are trying to print.

Your other option is to use an XYZ layer type with your gwc layers.

I did not know if this list or the geoserver list would be a better forum for this question. I decided to start here.

After adding layers to my map from geowebcache and generating a pdf with the Printprovider  the gwc layers were not showing up in the generated pdf.

My straight up wms layes etc, were printing fine as usual.

In my geoserver logs I found the following information that indicated a bad request. 

2011-08-24 13:27:21,287 WARN [org.mapfish.print.PDFUtils] -

I did not know why it was a bad request but I was suspicious of the HEIGHT and WIDTH

Pasting the url into my browser confirmed that by returning the error

400: The requested tile dimensions 694x667 do not match those of the grid set (256x256)

http://gis.catawbacountync.gov/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?BBOX=-9079690.0%2C4218281.5%2C-9006310.0%2C4294718.5&HEIGHT=694&WIDTH=667&TRANSPARENT=true&map_resolution=100&VERSION=1.1.1&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TILED=true&SERVICE=WMS&format_options=dpi%3A100&LAYERS=ncgroup&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG%3A900913

OK great. What can I do to resolve the issue? Can I use my gwc layers with the printProvider? Do I have deeper issues?
