C Wachob, you do not need to send any files any more. We have found out
what happened.

The client (Firefox) sends the attribute
"PageSize=Custom.Custom.595.28x841.89" to CUPS along with the print job.
This attribute is invalid. It must read "PageSize=Custom.595.28x841.89"
or simply "PageSize=A4".

This is an old problem (bug 998156) which is already solved in the
graphical user interface toolkit GTK 3.x (this provides the print
dialog). Due to Firefox still using GTK 2.x the problem is still present
there.

What needs to get fixed here is either to backport the fix in GTK 3.x
into GTK 2.x or to migrate Firefox to the current, maintained GTK 3.x.
Therefore I am moving this bug to GTK 2.x and Firefox. It would be too
awkward and not the correct solution to make CUPS and all CUPS filters
understand "PageSize=Custom.Custom.595.28x841.89".

C Wachob, for the time being either use Chromium or print into a PDF
file and then open the PDF and print it.
