Did you upgrade anything else at the same time that might have had an effect on this? LPRng, etc? twaugh writes:

The only variable I'm changing here is the version of a2ps. I can use rpm -Uv
to switch back and forth
between a2ps-4.13b-3 and a2ps-4.13b-7, and whenever the former is installed, I
get correct behavior;
whenever a2ps-4.13b-7 is installed, I see the problem.
I have, indeed, upgraded my entire system from Raw Hide 20010122 to Raw Hide
20010131, which includes an upgrade to LPRng-3.7.4-3 to LPRng-3.7.4-6, since I
filed
the original bug report. I'm still seeing the
same behavior with a2ps-4.13b-3 and a2ps-4.13b-7 -- the former works, the latter
doesn't.
Of course, I don't think that necessarily means that a2ps-4.13b-7 is "broken";
perhaps it's just that there
is some default setting that changed, and I need to research it to find out what
to set it to. It has been
nice, however, to get correct output without needing to set any parameters.
Does this continue to happen with the current rawhide? I believe you are seeing a2ps trying to use A4 paper. There is some changes to make it be 'smart' about this now. Try mucking with a2ps's --medium option, using things like: a2ps --medium=Letter I just tried a2ps-4.13b-13.i386.rpm on my Raw Hide 20010310 system, and the problem I was seeing seems to have gone away. It now seems to work like it used to; I did not need to use the --medium option to get it to work correctly. Thanks for the help! |
