Hide Forgot
I have a PostScript file which is supposed to be printed on legal paper. It's very small, so I'll attach it. It doesn't have the correct setpagedevice command in it, for reasons I've already reported in another bug (about psutils). I wanted to get the printer to print it properly anyway, so I did this: lp -d lj1100-draft -o PageSize=Legal -o PageRegion=Legal -o ImageableArea=Legal -o PaperDimension=Legal foo.ps It didn't work. Despite all those options attempting to tell CUPS to tell the printer to print on legal paper, it still printed on letter paper. This may actually be a foomatic bug -- perhaps foomatic needs to generate PPD files which contain the -sPAPERSIZE gs option but it doesn't. When I printed the same file directly with gs as follows, it worked: gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sPAPERSIZE=legal -sOutputFile=- -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -q - < foo.nup |lp -oraw -dlj1100-draft
Created attachment 97690 [details] PostScript file which won't print on legal paper when lp is told it should
Not sure if those options are meant to apply to PostScript jobs, or if they are just there for the filters that create PostScript from other formats.
'Red Hat Raw Hide' refers to the development tree for Red Hat Linux. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.

Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks.
