Bug#282837: Paper format resets to US Letter
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.2dfsg1-1
I use Debian Sarge and upgraded to the latest version. I am printing via
Cups on a different machine that also runs Sarge on an HP Laserjet 4+.
The default paper format is always set to "US Letter". I can change it in
the "Printer Settings" dialogue as well as in the settings dialogue that
comes up right before printing. I change it to A4, but after I print all
settings are back to "US Letter". Also the printing output is "US
Letter". My print server doesn't seem able to change this and so the
printer becomes stuck trying to load "US Letter" paper which is not
available in Europe. Resetting the printer or deleting the job doesn't
work, because the job is already sent. So I have to switch off the
printer while I restart the print server.
The lp0.ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd includes the following settings:
*DefaultPageSize:A4
*PageSize Letter/Letter: "<</PageSize[612 792]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpaged
evice"
*PageSize Legal/Legal: "<</PageSize[612 1008]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpagedevice"
*PageSize Executive/Executive: "<</PageSize[522 756]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpaged
evice"
*PageSize Statement/Manual: "<</PageSize[396 612]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpaged
evice"
*PageSize A4/A4: "<</PageSize[595 842]/ImagingBBox
null>>setpagedevice"
All this would result to not being able to print at all from
OpenOffice.org. But while I rediscovered that the problem is still there
today I deleted the .openoffice directory (and .sversionrc) and restarted
openoffice. Then I was able to normally print. After discovering that the
problem returned I tried to reproduce this solution, but was unable to do
so for some reason that is not known as of yet. I am pretty perplexed as
to this whole affair.
