Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

Just upgraded to hardy from the previous LTS release and found that it is no longer possible to print to a small 6"x4" paper in f-spot.  F-Spot does not give a paper size option in its print dialog and I have tried changing the printing size in the Printing administration applet but the size is not honoured.  When I print to a 6x4 sheet, even with the latter setting, the photo prints at a large size and is cropped (only one corner of the page is visible on the printout).

This is a very annoying regression since this PC belongs to my mother, who uses the PC entirely for printing photos!  (Needless to say, Intrepid is not an option here.)

$ apt-cache policy f-spot
f-spot:
  Installed: 0.4.3.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.4.3.1-0ubuntu1

My printer is a Canon Pixma MP180, using proprietary turboprint drivers but F-Spot is missing the paper size option in the print dialog no matter what printer I attach.
