The gnome-cups-manager app appears to change the paper size from A4 to US
Letter, but if I print a test page it is still A4. The change is not
persistent. When I look at the properties of the printer again, it is still
set to A4. I tried in the localhost:631 interface, but according to the
OK, I found the file with instructions on enabling the web interface. I did
that, rebooted, and was able to set the paper size in the web interface to the
same value as in gnome-cups-manager. The top margin is now correct.
However, this is not going to fly if normal users cannot set the paper
Sorry, I spoke too soon about the margin.
Even with both interfaces reporting the same settings, glabels printing, and
gedit printing, and probably any gxxx printing has too large a top margin.
This testing was done using a Samsung ML-1750 laser printer set for US Letter
and 1200x600dpi
Update - sorry about the flip-flopping here, but I just succeeded in getting my
Canon PIXMA ip-4000 working in Dapper using Turboprint 1.94-2. I set the
printer up in the Turboprint config utility and then used the CUPS web
interface to adjust the settings to be the same both places.
