[Bug 428817] Re: Print Dialog does not allow editing of page parameters
I was having this problem on Ubuntu 18.10 (WOW, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN
AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME) with my HP LaserJet 500 color M551 printer.
When I tried to install it, the driver that kept getting selected was
"HP LaserJet 500 color M551, driverless, cups-filters 1.21.3". This,
despite the fact that I have "hpijs-ppds", "hplip", and "hplip-data"
installed.
I solved the problem by downloading the current version of HPLIP
directly from HP (https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplip/ or
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing), unpacking it,
locating the PPD for my printer in the source code ("hp-
laserjet_500_color_m551-ps.ppd"), and changing the configured driver of
the printer installed in Linux to specify that PPD directly rather than
using the recommended driver.
I think the problem here, or at least one of the problems here, is not
nearly all of the HP printer drivers are being installed by Ubuntu. In
particular, while I can't say for certain, it looks to me like the
hpijs-ppds package is only installing a few fax drivers, not the full
array of drivers available in HP's HPLIP package. I have no idea why
that's the case.

@Swift Arrow (swiftarrow9) Eye Of Gnome (2.32.1) does not even have a Page Setup in the Image menu. The applications that *do* have a Page Setup entry in the File menu do not provide a Paper Type option, only page orientation and paper size. I can find no way at all to set the paper type.

[Bug 428817] Re: Print Dialog does not allow editing of page parameters
I've just run a clean install of 10.04 to test this again and you are correct, GEdit does allow the page setup tab to be used. However, tried with Eye of Gnome and the problem still exists. When viewing the page-setup tab in GEdit to an HP Laserjet 1200: Layout: - Two-sided:Available to Change - Pages per side: Available to Change - Page ordering:Not available (Greyed out) - I'd expect this on this printer - Only print: Available to Change - Scale:Available to Change Paper: - Paper Type: Not available (Greyed out) - Paper Source: Available to Change - Output Tray: Not available (Greyed out) - I'd expect this on this printer, only one output tray. - Paper Size: Available to Change - Orientation: Available to Change When viewing the page-setup tab in Eye of Gnome Image Viewer using the same HP Laserjet 1200: Layout: - Two-sided:Available to Change - Pages per side: Available to Change - Page ordering:Not available (Greyed out) - Only print: Available to Change - Scale:Available to Change Paper: - Paper Type: Not available (Greyed out) - Paper Source: Available to Change - Output Tray: Not available (Greyed out) - Paper Size: Not available (Greyed out) - Orientation: Not available (Greyed out) To set the paper size, type and orientation, users have to use the File Page Setup. This changes the values shown on the print dialogue tab but they are still greyed out. Since this can be worked around using the 'File Page Setup', I thought that I shouldn't be be thinking of this as a bug, more of a usability issue. Then I found the Dictionary application which doesn't have the 'File Page Setup' and the options on the print dialogue tab are still greyed out. I don't think that this will be a driver issue I have tried with three different systems with three difference printers: System 1. An upgrade from from 8.04 - printing to the PDF printer. System 2. A clean 10.04 install printing to an HP Color Ink jet. (I'll check the model and post it shortly). System 3. Another clean 10.04 install with an HP Laserjet 1200.

[Bug 428817] Re: Print Dialog does not allow editing of page parameters
This is not a problem of cups-pdf, it also occurs with other printer drivers. The problem is a usability issue of the current GTK printing dialog. To select the page size you have to choose File/Page Setup in the main menu and select the page size. Then you click File/Print to do the printing. See also the Image Settings tab to adjust the position of the image on the paper. Mark Ignore Page Margins there as the margins are not set correctly.

Oops... I notice that you've assigned it to GTK. Good on you! My suggestions: 1. Get rid of page setup tab on printer dialog. Its useless. Integrate the functionality that seems to be targeted at it in the File page setup dialog box. 2. Allow the application to specify custom page sizes automatically (eg, printing to pdf in GIMP should give the option to use the image size for page size). 3. Move the new Page Setup dialog box to the printer dialog, as a tab. Make FilePage Setup open the dialog set to that tab. Again, I hope this is ironed out in the future.
