cups paper size

Hi All,

Would you guys fix this for me?

Word Pro, Note Pad Plus, all think my default printer is my Okidata B4350.  And
it is.  But, all new documents default to A4 as the paper size and it is not. 
It is "Letter".  Wine is not picking up the default paper size from my printer.

Many thanks,
-T

When you print from any native Linux program what do they show as default paper
size? Programs like Firefox for example. Also what paper size is selected in
notepad by default?

No, I do not think so.  When printing larger than A4, 15942 gets its printout
clipped.  On this one, if you change the paper size to what it is suppose to
be, it prints fine.

If you want to print something other than letter to my printer, you have to use
the manual feed try.  And, that would show up in a real hurry.  I have attached
a screen shot of Open Office's (3.2.0) File, Printer Settings dialog.

A4.  I will attach that too.

Works fine here. Look at your system settings. Especially printer
configuration. Lots of distros have this problem that shows up all the time.

On a hunch, I tried my shop workstation (CentOS 4.x).  It also has the A4
problem.  So both my Linux workstations have the same problem.

I think I am missing your point.  EVERY Linux program (Open Office, Firefox,
Thunderbird, gedit, gimp) that I could find, gets the default printer and the
paper size correctly.  If my settings were wrong, this would not be the case. 
And, I attached a screen shot of my CUPS settings for my default printer.  Did
you see anything wrong?

This is what I do not get: if *all* my Linux programs get it correctly, why is
this a "system setting" issue?

And, why does Wine, also a Linux program, get it wrong?

I have been wrong on my suppositions before, more often then I would like to
admit, so I will keep an open mind.  I just don't get it how this is not a Wine
issue.

Try any wine version after 1.3.5

All versions prior to that seem to feed media=A4 to lpr no matter what you
choose  for page size. However, it is also necessary to set the default on cups
for the paper size you wish to print on because wine will not tell what page
size you have set even though it picks up from cups but I suppose that meets
your purpose given that you want your printer's default to be used.

Good news.  Unfortunately 1.3.5 breaks Lotus Approach.  See bug #24857.  I had
to revert to 1.3.4 and never checked this bug before reverting.  :-(

No joy under 1.3.6.  Word Pro still defaults to A4.  All Linux native programs
default to letter.

I think my problem is similar to your problem.  I posted a bug report
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25581,  I think it's the print dialog
not sending the correct info to cups spooler.  Am using latest Wine 1.3.25 as
well.  I thought it was the landscape issue but now I think it's a paper size
issue as well.

Hi Guys,

Would you guys please consider fixing this?  Every time I create a division or
new document in Word Pro, every time I try to print a report from Approach, the
paper defaults back to A4 and ruins my print out.  I have to correct every
print out and reprint.  This bug is a complete pain in the neck!

Many thanks,
-T

I'm seeing this same issue on 1.5.11. I can print from any native application,
but Wine applications want to default to A4.  This is particularly troublesome
with Office 2010, as it displays Letter as the default in all the print
configuration options, but it's sent to the printer as A4.

Is this still an issue in Wine 1.7.45 or later?

It is still and issue on 1.7.44. Did you do something on 1.7.45? Do you need me
to test it on 1.7.45?   I have been using Wine-Staging as they have more stuff
fixed, but I could sneak one of yours in if you need me to.
