[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
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 page it is disabled, and of course if I enter my name and password, it just keeps asking over again. Since there is no root account, I can't try as root in the web interface. If I run sudo gnome-cups-manager, the paper size change sticks. However, since the web interface still shows the paper size to be A4 (yes, I did a fresh view), thee is a very large upper margin on the top of the page. I have had this problem in many gnome systems, and it is always indicative that localhost:631 and gnome-cups-manager have different settings. Since I can't make the change in localhost:631, I cannot get rid of this large top margin. This causes progarms like glabels to not be able to line up the label with the medium. -- cannot configure printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
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 size and have it viewed as the same value in both interfaces. That needs fixing. -- cannot configure printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
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 printing. -- cannot configure printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
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. It prints from Glabels now with the CORRECT top margin. I was still curious why the Samsung top margin is too large, so I tried the lj4dith driver instead of the recommended pxlmono driver. That fixed the top margin problem for that printer. -- cannot configure printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
If I start the printer setup dialog by sudo gnome-cups-manager, then changes to the printer options are preserved (and shown in the Properties dialog of the printer). Strangely, these settings are not used when printing, and, more strangely, the web interface of CUPS shows different settings than gnome-cups-manager. -- cannot configure printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/34112 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer
If I change a setting in gnome-cups-manager (started from the menu), the file ~/.lpoptions is deleted. I don't think that this is the intended behavior.

I am using a epson CX 4100, and changes are not applied for the printer (even the set default change I could not that if I try to change in WEB interface, I get printer not found... maybe because of the freak name of the driver??
