Yeah, it's broken.
Setting Page Size to US Legal in system-config-printer seems to have no effect anymore. It used to. I have an annual groff print job that prints a lot of little pages, 2.625 x 4.25 in., in landscape mode on legal paper. I get 5 little pages to fit, side-by-side, along the 14 in. length of paper. But this year the first little page is shifted up to the place that Letter paper would start at, and the fifth little page is off the top of the paper. I've verified with gsview and gv that the Postscript output of groff is correctly placed in the landscape/legal print space, so it's the cups printer that's not working correctly. My laser printer is an older Minolta PageWorks 12, which implements PCL5e (HP LaserJet 4+ compatible), so I use the driver "Generic PCL 5e Printer Foomatic/ljet4". I have two printers defined - minolta, which uses Letter paper from the default feeder; and legal, which uses Legal paper from the manual feeder. So to print on legal paper I send output to lpr -P legal and load legal paper in the manual hopper. This scheme has always worked perfectly in the past, but now fails. The corresponding files in /etc/cups/ppd - minolta.ppd and legal.ppd - differ in apparently correct ways, but these differences have no effect. This is with cups-1.4.8-5.fc15.x86_64. Help, please!
David: unless you are printing from Firefox, you are seeing a different bug. Please file a separate bug report (choose the 'cups' component).

This issue is still not resolved, can someone bum the version to 21?
Hi, I seem to have the bug in Fedora 21. Bug desciption: Going over the settings menue -> Settings -> Printer (-> unlock to use the options) -> Options -> Page Setup -> Change "Legal" to "A4". Then the value immediately switches back to "Legal". I am unable to fix the value to "A4" -> Printing the test page shows a legal page Installing system-config-printer gives a slightly different error: -> system-config-printer (-> unlock to set options) -> select OfficeJet-6700 -> Printer Options -> Change "Legal" to "A4". Then the value remains on A4 -> Accept with "ok" -> Printing the test page shows a legal page Background information: uname -a Linux hoelderlin 3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:09:10 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lpoptions -p Officejet-6700 -l | grep PageSize PageSize/Media Size: Card3x5 Card4x6 L L.FB Photo4x6 Photo4x6.FB A6 A6.FB Hagaki Hagaki.FB Photo3x5 Photo5x7 Photo13x18 Photo5x7.FB Photo13x18.FB Card5x8 A5 A5.FB Ofuku Photo2L.FB 6x8 JB5 B5.FB Executive Statement *Letter Letter.FB CardLetter A4 A4.FB CardA4 Legal Photo10x15 Photo10x15.FB Photo2L Photo8x10 8x10.FB 8.5x13 EnvA2 EnvC6 EnvChou4 EnvCard EnvMonarch EnvDL Env10 EnvChou3 EnvC5 A4.Duplex Letter.Duplex CardA4.Duplex CardLetter.Duplex Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT
Hi, I am getting a bit confused about how to verify if I am printing A4 or legal. Changing the default paper size from legal to A4 seems to be possible: 1. using lpoptions: lpoptions -p Officejet-6700 -o media=A4.FB lpoptions -p Officejet-6700 -l | grep PageSize PageSize/Media Size: Card3x5 Card4x6 L L.FB Photo4x6 Photo4x6.FB A6 A6.FB Hagaki Hagaki.FB Photo3x5 Photo5x7 Photo13x18 Photo5x7.FB Photo13x18.FB Card5x8 A5 A5.FB Ofuku Photo2L.FB 6x8 JB5 B5.FB Executive Statement Letter Letter.FB CardLetter A4 *A4.FB CardA4 Legal Photo10x15 Photo10x15.FB Photo2L Photo8x10 8x10.FB 8.5x13 EnvA2 EnvC6 EnvChou4 EnvCard EnvMonarch EnvDL Env10 EnvChou3 EnvC5 A4.Duplex Letter.Duplex CardA4.Duplex CardLetter.Duplex Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT 2. using the local cups interface: http://localhost:631/ -> Adding Printers and Classes -> Manage Printers -> select: OfficeJet-6700 -> Set Default Options -> select: A4 Broderless After doing this I can also change the default paper size using the standard settings menu of Fedora -> Settings -> Printer (-> unlock to use the options) -> Options -> Page Setup -> Change "Legal" to "A4" or any other value But printing the test page gives the same result for A4 and for legal. Is there still a bug or does the test page look equally for legal and A4? How can I verify if A4 is printed correctly?
Hi, Here you get a workaround for the problem. Install hplip-gui which then appears in the Fedora menu as "HP Device Manager". -> Start the HP Device Manager -> Device -> Setup New Device -> Connection: Network -> Select: OfficeJet 6700 (or whatever printer you have) -> Print Settings -> General -> Select: 4A Boderless -> Printer Control -> Set as default printer -> Actions -> Print Test Page The A4 Borderless test page is printed perfectly (and tests with other pdf-files work perfectly too). Verify the settings in the local cups interface: http://localhost:631 Check under (Administration -> Manage Printers) which printers and faxes are available now. Most probable your printer appears now two times: - Printer that you have defined with the cups interface (and in my case using: HP OfficeJet 6700 hpijs, 3.14.10) - Printer that you have defined with the HP Device Manager (and in my case using: HP Officejet 6700, hpcups 3.14.10) I deleted the printer using hpijs because it is prints with the wrong paper size (this is the bug that I mentioned in comment 9+10). I am using the printer with hpcups. But beware that the paper size of the printer using hpcups can only be changed in the "HP Device Manager" and not in the Fedora Standard Settings ("Settings -> Printers -> ..."). In the Fedora Standard Settings the paper size immediately changes back to initial value if changed (see bug described in comment 9). I hope that helps for the users to continue. I also hope that this gives some hints how to solve the problem. Please let me know if the workaround worked for you too.
schaefi: you are seeing some other problem, not related to Firefox. Please file a separate bug report.
