From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I use the Czech locale, but I live in the US and have a US Letter paper size. However the printconf is refusing to allow me to choose Letter as a choice in the device options, whenever I set it, it will reset it back to A4 when I run the modification dialog again in printconf. And the test page is obviously printed for A4 paper size. I have had RH8 installed and just upgraded to RH9 and I had printing working fine with RH8. When I upgraded I ran the print switcher app to switch to cups. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install in czech locale 2. Try to set Letter in the printconf dialog for any particular spool 3. rerun the editting dialog and see that the A4 option is back Actual Results: Can't print on letter paper properly Expected Results: want to get letter paper, I can't even buy A4 here Additional info:
Please try editing /usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_conf.py, at about line 510, and change the line: always = [ "PreFilter" ] to: always = [ "PreFilter", "PageSize" ] Does that fix the problem for you?
Yes, that fixed things perfectly, the setting sticks and the test page prints out correctly. Thanks!
