From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; HP-UX B.11.00 9000/785) Description of problem: I am trying to use the "kprinter" GUI to install a new printer, using the "Add Printer Wizard", remote lpd, and then selecting printer default settings, for example for an HP Colour Laserjet 8550. This shows a full range of e.g. page-size settings, including A3. The printer wizard completes the task, and shows the new printer queue. However, when I look at the "Properties" of the new printer queue, I only see a subset of the page-size (and other) options. It's as if the Wizard finds and displays the correct settings (from the ppd file) on queue creation, but is referring to another ppd file or a set of limited system defaults when actually trying to use the new printer queue. Any ideas? I've had a look at the Bugzilla database, and also searched the KDE bug database, with no success so far. Incidentally, the same thing happens in Redhat 9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdelibs-3.0.3-8.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use "kprinter". 2.Add printer, Remote lpd queue, HP Colour Laserjet 8550GN, Foomatic+Postscript, check "Settings" and Pagesize (all sizes including A3 available), give a queue-name etc then finish. 3.Select new printer queue, then look at "Properties", "General", "Page Size" - a limited set of page-sizes are available, e.g. no A3. Actual Results: A3 should have been selectable. Expected Results: A3 not in the selection list. Additional info:
