[Bug 52017] Re: changing settings (like paper size) have no effect in CUPS

[Antonio Macchi III]

I have experienced similar problems with gnome-cups-manager and cups
when printing from clients:

wrong size for testpages (Letter instead of A4) while using the "print a
testpage" from a client using the gnome-cups-manager.

A similar testpage printed with the cups web-interface has the correct
size. This potential bug is probably only observed in a cups
client/server arrangement where A4 is used as standard. I did not
observe the problem while printing testpages on the same machine (the
server).

For us this bug is of reasonably high importance since wrong page sizes are not acceptable in a business envinronment. It is visible and gives a bad impression for new linux users.
I am presently preparing the deployment of packages for small businesses containing ubuntu desktops and servers.

I would be very thankful for any suggestions that could help us to solve
that problem.
