Description David Kaplan 2006-05-23 13:39:41 UTC
Description of problem:
When printing, none of the printers I have, including Generic Postscript and
Generate PDF, allow you to select "Custom Page Size" and set the page size
manually.  This is a real problem for either printing large posters or printing
a screen-size presentation to PDF.  For some printers, this could be a PPD
problem, but for Generic Postscript, it seems absurd not to allow this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 5 with all the updates, 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to print something
2.Go to Paper tab and try to use an arbitrary page size.
3.
  
Actual results:
Only official page sizes (A4, letter,...) are available.

Expected results:
Why not be more flexible than that?

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
