Bug#503262: Acknowledgement (gutenprint driver v5.0.2 breaks my small-paper printing)



I made a mistake about the version of the previous working cupsys. It
is cupsys 1.3.7-5.

To recap,

what works: cupsys 1.3.7-5 + cupsys-driver-gutenprint 5.0.1-4
what don't: cups_1.3.8-1lenny2 + cups-driver-gutenprint_5.0.2-4

PS. I now doubt that the cause of the problem is the introduced
feature of "Shrink Page If Necessary to Fit Borders". IMHO, this
option doesn't make much sense in ink jet prints that don't have page
tray. Previously, I can just put whatever paper in the sheet feeder,
adjust the left edge guide if necessary, then start printing.

As long as that I make sure what I print match the paper, this works
fines, and I never had problem with it. Now if I want to print to
various pages sizes, e.g., A4, B5, letter, or even envelopes, I don't
know what I should do. At least it involves extra configuration during
installation and extra setting/picking during print, and not as easy
as before.

thanks
