And which apps? An example for a specific app would help.The printer settings available in XFCE looking for the printer and then its settings. The app was google chrome, AFAIR. It's possible that it also happened with evince.If I print from Evince with a Paper size of A3, this setting sticks. Next time Evince is used the paper size is A3. This is the way the app behaves and has nothing to do with hplip.
I also have a recollection that Evince and Firefox both use Letter as a default. There might bug reports about this but I haven't checked. Again, hplip is not involved.
If I understand you correctly Evince has its own printing settings. It's very likely that my problem was just with Chromium and not with evince. In any case if Chromium also has its own settings and doesn't use HPLIP, this is probably a bug in Chromium, as I think I have A4 as system default setting. If Chromium doesn't have it's own printing settings and uses HPLIP defaults, I understand the problem lies on HPLIP. If you want, just move this report to chromium.
I think it's still a bug (with Chromium at least) and it makes sense to remain open. I don't know if Chromium uses HPLIP defaults or has it's own settings. If it doesn't, please reassign the bug to chromium, but leave it open.Does this sound reasonable to you. If so, I will close the report.
Unfortunately I don't have the printer anymore, so I can't retry anything... Cheers, José Luis
