Installed Ubuntu 7.04 (kernel 2.6.20-15 SMP x86_64) on my Linux box here at work--a Dell Optiplex 745 (Intel Core 2 6300 @ 1.86GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD)--on Fri 20 Apr 2007. I have tried configuring an HP LaserJet 8000DN over JetDirect with PostScript driver and both Paper size and PageRegion == 'Letter'. Still the print manager test page and evolution always print to A4 page size as evidenced by printer requesting I load A4 paper. (Evolution used to allow you to pick a paper size and I can't find that even in advanced options with the new version.) The print manager would seem like a lovely place to at least display the default page size--if not allow administrators to adjust it.
I didn't realize /etc/papersize existed, much less it's overarching significance. I appreciate the note above explaining the dpkg- reconfigure way to fix this. Although, this is not something I expected to be broken. Why do you have to reinstall printers after correcting the default paper size? This fixed the print manager test page. Firefox defaults to 'letter' size! Evolution still tries to print to 'A4' with no visible way to override. ** Attachment added: "Output of printingbuginfo and lpoptions" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7600550/debug_info.txt -- Always prints A4 paper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46613 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
