Bug#921842: eom: print dialog: paper format always A4 (not remembered, not printer default)
Package: eom
Version: 1.20.2-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I use eom often for printing labels on a labelprinter, so i only need
paper 2 sizes, that are no standard sizes, but they are in the printer
driver and one of them is printer standard format.
When I select the printer in print dialogue and than go to the tab for
page properties, the paper format is set to 'A4', no matter what was
used last time, or what is the printer default. So i have to scroll
quite far to find my label format. The printer driver doesn't even have
'A4' defined.
In debian stretch this was always set to printer default so I had to
change the paper format only sometimes and the other needed format is
just next to it.
I think this is a issue of eom and not the print dialogue, because in
other programs (e.g. pluma) which use the same print dialogue, the last
paper format and orientation is remembered.
This behavior was the same when i tried Raspbian buster on my
raspberryPi, so it seems not to be system specific.
Could you please make the last paper format and orientation saved like
in pluma and like the special printer settings in the last tab?
