hi -

we have never been able to solve our issue with setting the default page size 
in the print dialog.

if we were to create a new printer queue

if we go the cups admin page for that new queue - we can see the default page 
size is set correctly - i.e. 6x4 
even though our printers supports physical media up to 6x9 - we wanted the 
default size to be 6x4 
and it shows correctly in the  admin page
and if we were to use the lp command or drop image to the queue - it will print 
the 6x4 correctly with the expected 6x4 crop of the photo
printing out a 6x4 size cut media (the 6x9 media can print and cut to 6x4 size)

however, with the Print Dialog - say in Preview.app
the Paper Size always seem to show up initially at “other” and details that it 
is the US Letter size dimensions
which happens to be default paper size option in the system preferences Printer 
& Scanner panel 
and if i were to change it to US Legal size in the Printer&Scanner pref panel 
the Print Dialog will show “other” and this time details show the US Legal size 
dimensions

is there a way to make the Print Dialog show the Default Paper Size for the 
selected printer model in the Print Dialog?

is there something we are not doing in our PPD that can override this behavior?

Thanks!

steve
