Description of problem: I have absolutely no idea if this is cups or Qt or hplip or what, but I call it cups because I was at least able to change the behavior by editing the /etc/cups/printers.conf file. When I bring up the Qt printer settings dialog and click on Properties and look at the Advanced tab (which, as far as I know is intended to map to all the user settable settings from the ppd file), the first two items in the list of settings are both named MediaSize. Worse yet, the first one says Letter, and the 2nd one says CD/DVD 120mm. This is after selecting my printer which I have configured all the defaults on to be 120mm CD/DVD printing, so I have no idea why Letter shows up. Poking around in various file, I find a line in printers.conf, in the section for my <Printer C5500-DVD> that says: Option media na_letter_8.5x11in I have no idea why that line is there, but when I delete it and restart cups, I at least wind up with two MediaSize lines that both say 120mm CD/DVD. This doesn't seem to affect my ability to print CDs, so it is definitely a minor bug at worst, but it just seems so weird, I thought I'd report it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.4.1-13.fc12.x86_64 hplip-3.9.8-21.fc12.x86_64 qt-devel-4.5.3-7.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time I look at printer settings in my kewpie program (see below) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a copy of a printer 2.Change the copy to use a different default paper size 3.Run kewpie and see two conflicting MediaSize properties for printer Actual results: Double MediaSize attributes Expected results: Just one Media size attribute Additional info: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/kewpie/kewpie.html describes the kewpie program and has a download link. Build with qmake-qt4 ; make in directory where it is unpacked. Description of the printer I am using (and how I finally printed a DVD with no image clipping) can be found in these links: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/dvdp/dvd-success.html http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/dvdprint/dvd-print.html
Please attach the PPD file. How exactly are you performing step 2?
Created attachment 368193 [details] C5500-DVD.ppd Here's the current ppd file. The procedure to get here was a bit complex. I let cups auto-install the Photosmart printer. I then went to s-c-p, right clicked on the C5500 entry it created and said copy printer. I then renamed the copy to C5500-DVD and brought up properties dialog for that copy and changed every media size, source tray, etc option I could find to say CD/DVD 120mm. Later I manually edited the ppd file to change the ImageableArea attribute for CDDVD120 to a set of values that finally allowed me to print the whole DVD. Then, when trying to find where the extra MediaSize option came from, I deleted every line in the file that referenced "Letter" (but that didn't help). Finally I found the Option media line in the printers.conf file which I deleted, and now at least I get two MediaSize entries that both say DVD instead of one that says letter and one that says DVD.
All shows correctly in GTK+ print dialog and in 'lpoptions -p printer -l' output. Qt bug -- sounds like it's displaying both PageSize and PageRegion options which is incorrect.
I thought it might be a Qt problem, so I also submitted a Qt bug report to trolltech/nokia pointing at this bugzilla. Maybe they'll look at it someday :-). http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5572
There's no qt4 component anymore (as Qt 4 is now the default qt).
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This is still happening in f13 (and the upstream Qt bug is still open as well :-).
