Bug 191034

So overnight, yum updated the following packages:

May 17 05:46:43 Updated: cups-libs.i386 1:1.2.0-1.1
May 17 05:46:45 Updated: php.i386 5.1.4-1
May 17 05:46:45 Updated: libsane-hpaio.i386 0.9.11-1.1
May 17 05:46:45 Updated: php-pdo.i386 5.1.4-1
May 17 05:46:45 Updated: hpijs.i386 1:0.9.11-1.1
May 17 05:46:46 Updated: vnc.i386 4.1.1-37.fc5
May 17 05:46:48 Updated: php-pear.noarch 1:1.4.9-1
May 17 05:47:07 Updated: xemacs-sumo.noarch 20060510-2.fc5
May 17 05:47:09 Updated: php-mysql.i386 5.1.4-1
May 17 05:47:13 Updated: cups.i386 1:1.2.0-1.1
May 17 05:47:16 Updated: hplip.i386 0.9.11-1.1

which obviously includes things critical to prting in Fedora (cups hpijs hplip),
and I now seem to have a Gnome print dialogue that obeys my default paper A4.
Seeing as I've not changed anything else I guess the problem was somewhere in
one of these packages and this has now been fixed. At least on my system.
