[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#457721: hplip: doesn't honor /etc/papersize

[Luca Capello]

Package: hplip
Version: 1.6.10-3
Severity: normal

Hello!

On a plain etch system, with /etc/papersize set to a4, my hp Color
LaserJet CM1017 MFP [1] still defaults to letter, which is wrong.

FWIW, it's also seems that when printing from evince, changing the
papersize to a4 from the GNOME print dialog doesn't have any effect,
i.e. the same .ps file is printed wrongly by evince and correctly by
GSView on Windows XP :-(

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Footnotes: 
[1] which otherwise is fully supported as a printer, I was positively
    surprised, especially by the smoothness of the installation process
