[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 248358] Re: Paper size setting for HP Photosmart D7200 doesn't work

This wasted an afternoon for me I should have spent working on Samba !

I'm irritated. f-spot is my primary photo management application and the
8.04 release has *two* critical bugs. The mono bug w.r.t. freezing on
exit on multicore machines:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/224291

and now this !

I set up multiple print queues, one for each paper size and it took me a
long time to work out that f-spot printing was always emitting "letter"
size (or A4, I'm guessing it's the default paper size defined on the
system).

A default photo application that won't print photos is worse than
useless. Who does the QA on this before release ? This is a long-term
supported release - I think the solution is to upgrade the f-spot
version in Hardy asap to one that will correctly set the paper size.

Who do I annoy to get this done ? Or is this another subject I should
pass onto the Linux-hater's blog :-). I can't recommend Ubuntu for new
Linux users until bugs like this are caught *before* release. I could
understand if f-spot were a secondary photo package, but this is the
*default* photo management app, and it's normally a damn good one.

Please fix this asap.

Jeremy.
