Public bug reported: SETTING I configured a printer in CUPS with the attached ppd file. Note that the default page size is set to letter (i.e. *DefaultPageSize: Letter)
WHAT GOES WRONG I opened a pdf in evince and wanted to print it. By default the printing dialog of evince shows the option "Paper size: A4" which is what I want and which is indeed my paper size. Printing with this setting works but top of page is cut away. WORKAROUND Now, if I change via CUPS (http://localhost:631/) the default option "Media Size: A4" it works nicely. CONCLUSION: The "Paper Size" option in the printing dialog of evince is silently ignored and the default for the option "Media Size" in CUPS is used.
