[Bug 21722] Re: A4 paper size unalterable in printer setup

Version: Dapper Beta with all updates to 2006-04-23. This problem
occurred when adding a network connected (lpd) Brother HL-5170DN printer
using the recommended Postscript driver. Page size was unalterably set
to A4. Changing /etc/papersize to letter had no effect. Subsequent to
changing /etc/papersize to letter, I added a network connected
(jetdirect) Brother HL-1440 and network connected (jetdirect) HP DeskJet
5850 with no problem -- the resulting default paper size was letter.
Deleting the HL-5170DN queue and adding it anew resulted in A4 again and
no attempt to change that was successful. Could this be a problem with
the generic Postscript PPD or driver?
