Hi Bruce,

In my understanding, Okular *should* be using the paper size set in the print
dialog ("Properties" -> "Page Size"). If it does not do so, that sounds like a
bug. Can you attach your error_log from CUPS for a case where you explicitly
selected 11x17 as page size in the print dialog and then printed from there.
And also, can you attach a sample file of that size, so I can check what
happens in my case?

The print "preview" shown in the print dialog after pressing "Properties" next
to the printer's name (the "Page") in my case shows the Width and Height of the
page just below the combobox in which the page size can be selected, s.
screenshot in attachment 128611.
That "preview" (which doesn't show the actual content) is part of the Qt print
dialog which Okular and other KDE applications use, so nothing that could be
changed in Okular itself.
As for the print preview in "File" -> "Print Preview", I don't think it takes
into account any of the settings made in the actual print dialog, since those
are only applied for the current printout, i.e. what is done when pressing
"OK".
