Public bug reported: Printer settings (via CUPS or System Settings -> Printers) have letter paper and duplex specified. When printing from okular, settings used are A4 paper and non-duplex printing so every print job requires manual setting of the correct printer settings. These changes are not stored. Other non-KDE applications, such as LibreOffice or Firefox, correctly use the system settings. This behaviour is repeatable and has been observed on both Kubuntu 18.04 systems that I use.
I expect okular (and other KDE programs) to print according to the setup in System Settings -> Printers and not use a hard-wired default. /etc/papersize = letter Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS okular version: 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: okular 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-39.42-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-39-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Mon Nov 26 15:57:17 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-08-16 (467 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.04.3 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170801) SourcePackage: okular UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-10-29 (28 days ago) ** Affects: okular (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to okular in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805307 Title: Okular does not use system-wide printer settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/okular/+bug/1805307/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
