Description of problem: We've recently changed printer there. The old one transparently converted Letter documents to A4. The new one bips till the job is cancelled or an actual Letter paper tray is inserted. The net result is I've noticed many gnome apps including evolution seems to switch back from A4 to Letter randomly. I'm now looking feverishly at the paper type selection in the gnome print dialog for every time I need to print a page, but the values there seem to be forgotten as soon as I switch to another dialog and I spend my days walking to the printer to cancel jobs manually. (it explains btw why I often had weird margins with the old printer) This is seriously getting on my nerves. Seems there is a race somewhere between the locale paper check and the displaying of the print dialog (or something like this). FC is totally unfit for any serious office jobs out of America as long as this is not fixed.
I think this is a duplicate of bug #124570 Looks like Evolution's print configuration information is broken.
Dunno, I guess the fact the printer _can_ do duplex printing means I didn't hit this one. But I agree with the fact the print dialog is seriously broken. I guess most people do not see it because they have printers that try to "fix" jobs and print anyway. I did notice for quite a long time evo often prints with wrong margins & inserts a blank page before. Didn't understand what was wrong before this new printer started complaining about jobs in letter format
