printer setting

Package: evolution
Version: 2.2.3-2
Severity: normal
As the subject says... evolution ignores both the per-user default
printer, and the system default printer, defaulting every time to the
"Generic Postscript" printer setting provided by Gnome itself.
At least you can select the proper printer in the dialog, but evolution
of course gets all the settings wrong, and decides that by default it
should be printing on A4 paper via the printer's manual input tray,
despite both CUPS' web-ui and gnome-cups-manager agreeing that the
default is US Letter and the main paper tray (known as Tray2) should be
the input device. Fortunately you can (in *this* Gnome app, anyway),
change those settings and evolution will remember them until the next
time you run it, at which time you get to do it all again.
Go figure.
