Try:

File|Print|Setup Printer|

Make sure that the Printer PPD has the right path for your printer. Mine
is a Canon MP-750 and the path is:

/usr/share/turboprint/ppd/Canon_PIXMA_MP750.ppd

Make sure the Standard Command box has your actual printer in the
Printer Queue box.

Click OK and you should now see the settings & paper types for your
printer. You can also modify the border settings manually.

Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
