Public bug reported: I have a server and a client, both running Ubuntu 6.06. CUPS on the server is configured to send printer configuration broadcasts for automatic printing queue setup ("browsing"). There is one printer configured on the server with paper size set to "A4". On the client, the printer queue is automatically set up. However, the printer's settings are not retrieved: the controls for paper size, paper type, source, layout, etc. in gnome-cups-manager on the client are empty and disabled; the default paper size in the gnome-print dialog is set to "Letter".
I wrote a little program to check whether the correct PPD file is retrieved on the client using cupsGetPPD(). The retrieved file is identical to the one on the server, so I guess this is an issue of libgnomecups or gnome-print. ** Affects: libgnomecups (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- no printer properties such as paper size for auto-configured remote CUPS printers (browsing) https://launchpad.net/bugs/50916 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
