[Bug 150691] Re: Printer installation paper type does not follow locale
Till and Tim, The reason why there are 2 methods to retrieve the default papersize is historical. The LC_PAPER environment variable was not part of the original POSIX standard. To tackle the default papersize problem the Debian operation system gave birth to libpaper (/etc/papersize), most programs in Debian/Ubuntu use libpaper to retrieve the paper size, CUPS is also compiled with libpaper support. Later a DRAFT specification of a newer POSIX standard included the LC_PAPER environment variable, glibc was based on this DRAFT specification. But the FINAL version of this POSIX standard didn't include the LC_PAPER environment variable, this is also the current POSIX standard version. So both methods can be used by application developers depending if they target POSIX compliance or only Linux compliance. In Debian/Ubuntu we could agree on any of these methods and adapt all programs to use this method. As some heavy discussion will be needed here I don't think this bug report is the best place to discuss. Furthermore this effort would be limited to Debian/Ubuntu only as long as there is no new POSIX standard that clearly describes how the default papersize should be retrieved. With bug #104160 being closed in Gutsy, I think most users won't even notice there are 2 methods to retrieve the papersize since /etc/papersize will match the locale selected at install time.

[Bug 150691] Re: Printer installation paper type does not follow locale
Till: well, have you tried setting your system locale to something where A4 is actually used? The primary method for setting paper sizes is always going to be the locale. glibc provides support for LC_PAPER; CUPS keys off the locale string -- there really is no need for an extra (conflicting) mechanism to find out which paper size to use. I understand that CUPS has support for libpaper (IMHO needlessly). Adding support for this to system-config-printer would mean creating Python bindings for it as there do not appear to be any currently. It is not something I am prepared to spend any time on.

It's strange and i confirm this bug.

[Bug 150691] Re: Printer installation paper type does not follow locale
I have tried the following two command lines LC_PAPER=en_IE.utf8 system-config-printer LC_ALL=en_IE.utf8 system-config-printer and created a new printer each time. In both cases A4 should be selected by default, but I got A4 only for the latter case. I think having two methods to determine the default paper size is confusing. We should better do away with libpaper in Hardy completely and make sure that all programs needing a default paper size using the locale settings (preferably LC_PAPER and fall back to LC_ALL if LC_PAPER is undefined). In addition, there should be a GUI tool added where the locale settings can be easily changed, so that if a user goes to another country temporarily with his laptop that he can quickly adapt settings to that country. -- Printer installation paper type does not follow locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Till: system-config-printer is constrained to use the same mechanism that cupsd does, and that is to key off LC_MESSAGES when it exists (see cups/language.c, scheduler/conf.c).

Then cupsd is also not correct, for something there must be LC_PAPER. CUPS is supporting libpaper natively, at least if libpaper-dev is installed when CUPS is compiled. Perhaps one should explicitly cancel the libpaper support via a ./configure option (How is it done by Red Hat?).

Dear Till, I am very impressed at your scholarship in this matter, and agree with your assessment of the paper-type bug right up to the following statement: On Thu, 18 Oct 2007, Till Kamppeter wrote: In addition, there should be a GUI tool added where the locale settings can be easily changed, so that if a user goes to another country temporarily with his laptop that he can quickly adapt settings to that country. Last year Kevin Cole, Nick Wheeler and I (et al.) wrote a command line tool, which thanks to Kevin Cole ended up in Python, called GIN (Gnome Instant Nationalization). The good news is that this code could be a prototype for what you are talking about. The bad news is that Locale is a very complicated matter in Gnome.

[Bug 150691] Re: Printer installation paper type does not follow locale
Paul, did you remove the program from the public again? Your link is dead. In general your program will not affect settings for default paper sizes, because: 1. Your program only switches interface languages, not locales (info abou the country where the user is located) 2. Your program only changes settings for individual users, but print queues are owned by the system, so what we need for default paper size consistency is a tool to quickly switch the system-wide defaults of the locale settings. So everyone pointing us to a program to easily switch the system's locale settings (not only the language) is welcome. Also command line tools are welcome (one can easily add a button to an existing GUI which calls this tool or make some mini GUI to only switch the system's default locale, like we have my-default-printer to set the default printer). -- Printer installation paper type does not follow locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is from the list. What I did is the following (my /etc/papersize contains simply a4): In system-config-printer I click the New printer button, then in the list of detected printers I choose Print into PDF file. In the next two steps I leave the pre-selections Generic and PDF file generator and in the last step the suggested name PDF_file_generator. After that I have a new print queue named PDF_file_generator with Letter as default paper size. Then I go into the web interface http://localhost:631/, choose Administration, then Add printer, as name I take x, then I choose as device PDF file generator and stay with the default Generic PDF file generator as model/driver. The paper size default of my new print queue x is A4 now. During installation of Ubuntu I had once to choose the language (I chose english) and once the time zone (I chose Lisbon/Portugal).
