** Description changed:

- Cups does not print in any other page size than the one set in
- /etc/papersize, if the requested page size is specified as a job option
- rather than within the PS file. Pages are passed through "gs
- -sDEVICE=pdfwrite ..." which sets the page size to the default page
- size. Yet, I don't know whether this is a bug in ghostscript or the
- intended behavior of ghostscript and a bug in cups.
+ After the upgrade to Jaunty some users experience that a part of the
+ page is cut when printing, or other kinds of misalignment.  (A fix is
+ available, see below)

  Since the upgrade to Jauny beta, I experienced that evince would shift a
  document up when printing. It is reproducible. I print in A4 on a Canon
  IR3170Ci.
  
  The printed output is translated up. The upper part of the contents in
  not visible. I also tried another printer driver (hpijs instead of post-
  script) and did not observe any improvement.
  
  Changing /etc/papersize from letter to a4 allows me to print in a4.
  
  Printing from evince also working fine in intrepid.
  
  To reproduce the bug:
+ lpr -omedia=A3 testpage.ps
+ There should not be a problem if the postscript file itself requests a page 
size.
  
- lpr -omedia=A3 testpage.ps

- There should not be a problem if the postscript file itself requests a
- page size.

+ # that's all.
