[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
Yes, it is in Feisty, but the fix for the A4 (and other) printing issues has also changed gtkhtml3.14. So, simply backporting Evolution will not do the trick: we also need to backport gtkhtml3.14. On the other hand,... it seems gtkhtml3.14 is only used by Evo, so this would be a no-brainer. The real problem is checking if the Evo fix can be backported to 2.10. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
@NoOp: this indeed seems fixed on Gutsy (Evo 2.12.0/E-D-S 1.12.0). Also, backporting this fix to Feisty will require backporting GtkHTML3.14 as well, and this is a rewrite of the printing code on Evo... rather extensive change. Unfortunately, I do not have the time I would need to look at the backporting right now (and indeed had to throttle down my involvement with Ubuntu... pity...). But you can request a backport: file a new bug asking for it (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BackportRequestProcess?highlight=%28backport%29 for details). @all: I originally asked that this bug be kept on Fix Committed -- upstream had asked comments on the changes. But, given that I have seen no problems reported against the fix, I am now setting it as Fix Released. Of course, this bug can be reopened if we find it did not fix printing on Evo. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed it is.

[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
This bug, and bug #124860 and bug #123011 may possibly be the same bug. Printing from Evolution Mail worked for me previously with Dapper, but about a month ago I updated to Fiesty. I'm not sure because I don't print a lot of email, but it is most likely when things broke. When I print from Evolution Mail to my directly connected HP Laserjet 4m, the job appears to go ok, but when starting to print, the printer LCD displays the message Load A4. This printer only has one paper cartridge in it and is set up to print on US Letter. All the usual apps that I've tried so far (OO.o, Firefox, gedit, Evince) print fine. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425973 (marked as duplicate of 426816) there is a statement that this will be fixed on 2.12/2.20. Additionally, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446894 builds on 426816, with the stated purpose of fixing pagination and rendering issues when printing emails.

Well, well, well... nothing beats having a nice debugger the code build to reference the source... it took me about 15 minutes (after building installing my versions) to zero in it. It is possible this has been resolved somewhere between Evolution 2.10.1 (Feisty version) and Evolution 2.11.4 (Gutsy version). AT 2.10.1 we have this, in ./mail/em-format-html-print.c, in function emfhp_complete() (...) page_setup = gtk_page_setup_new (); paper_size = gtk_paper_size_new (iso_a4);/*FIXME paper size hardcoded */ print = gtk_print_operation_new (); (...) So there you go. A4 always as the default. Of course, this does not completely pinpoint the problem: although we start with a default of A4, Evolution should still be able to find out the current printer settings, and update the paper size accordingly (which, of course, does not seem to happen, at least not always). Still digging in.

Yes, this is a mix of lack of an option to set up a page on Evolution 2.10.1 and a lack of an option to set up a page size on GTK...

As an interim fix, is it possible to re-compile evolution with a hard-coded letter size setup? -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, I'm relieved to know that it'll be fixed in gutsy. That's probably good enough for me.

Sigh. I have no idea where I found a Page Setup option, but certainly it was not on Evolution. Please disregard the comment above regarding Page Setup availability on Evo 2.11.4. On the other hand, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446894 does have a patch for this, but I guess it will take a while to go thru (it has just been proposed, and not yet reviewed).

[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
Mark Erbaugh, for you on your computer modifying the hard-coded page size and recompiling should serve, but for a distro package I suggest to do something like page_setup = gtk_page_setup_new (); paper_size = gtk_paper_size_new (call function of libpaper to get default paper size); print = gtk_print_operation_new (); Then the paper size from /etc/papersize will be used. This is still a very quick and dirty hack, as it serves only for people with one printer with their countries standard paper size loaded. For anyone working with more than one paper size a paper size option (in print dialog or in page setup dialog) is needed. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
I'm willing to try hardcoding the paper size as Letter to see if that will work. I'm familiar with the./configure; make; make install process of compiling source code. Where is the source code for the Feisty version of Evolution. I enabled the source code repository and did a search in Synaptic and didn't find anything that looked like source. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Add to yout /etc/apt/sources.list the following lines: deb-src ftp://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main universe multiverse restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-proposed universe main multiverse restricted deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-updates universe main multiverse restricted Adjust the FTP site as needed for your country; you most probably do not need multiverse and restricted, but you will need main and universe. After that run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep evolution # this will load on your machine all needed dependencies for a successful build of evolution mkdir evolution cd evolution apt-get source evolution # thsi will get the current Evolution source package Then play around :-) . You probably want to start finding out all the places where A4 is specified: pwd ~/evolution grep -R iso_a4 * 2/dev/null Then change the occurances of 'iso_a4' to 'na_letter', and you are set. I am betting you will find them in the Addressbook, Tasks, etc. A point: if you are running Firefox 2.0.4, you will have to downgrade to Filrefox 2.0.3 and libnss 2.0.3 -- I did not find the sources for the new firefox, and the current Evolution depends on libnss 2.0.3 -- which depends on Firefox 2.0.3...

[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
Well... I just backported the Evolution from Gutsy to my system, and I am slightly disappointed. The paper size is fixed... but the other problems that are shown in the PDF that I attached (the printing running off the page, the extra page at the end) are not fixed. If Gutsy were to be released tomorrow, it's Evolution would be broken, too, it looks like. I used Prevu to do the backporting. Attached is the PDF that Evolution generated for the print preview for a newer CERT e-mail. I just did this today. ** Attachment added: previewBEKTUT.pdf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8219903/previewBEKTUT.pdf -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
Here is some more information that may help. I am running Evolution 2.10.1 (the version that comes with Fiesty). Under an older version (2.6.1), when you go to print, the print dialog has a 'paper' tab. This tab allows you select, among other things, the paper size. This tab does not show up under 2.10.1. My guess is that if the tab showed up, we would be able to change the paper size to letter as I believe that's what I did when I first started printing with 2.6.1. As a work-around, could someone figure out where this paper tab saves it's information. Perhaps we could edit this file manually to get letter size printing working until the print dialog is fixed. I also implemented the chance in the/etc/papersize file and other gnome applications now print in letter size -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sigh. Yes, I sort of tend to agree with you. My personal issue is that I had it when I upgraded to beta Feisty, and eventually I got to correct it -- and I do not remember what I did :-( If I could remember, this would at least point us to the general direction of this extremely bothersome bug. I have been researching it, as some of the folks here, and I found a series of quite, but not completely, related bugs. I have not yet been able to pinpoint where this is done...

[Bug 86426] Re: MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4
I went into System | Administration | Printing, which uses gnome-cups- manager and deleted my printers. I then edited /etc/papersize. That file had a single line A4, which I changed to Letter. I reinstalled my printer using the gnome-cups-manager. My printer is actually connected to another computer. I installed a PPD file from the manufacturer (Brother). Now, most apps print to Letter size paper, but Evolution still uses A4. I installed a PDF printer and when Evolution prints to it, it also prints A4 size. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please post results, together with what was used to delete/add the printer (gnome-print-manager, etc). I have done this many times over the time since I installed Feisty's testing releases, using both gnome-print-manager and the command line (lpadmin) to work with the printer. It has no effect; you'll notice that the PDF print preview that Evolution generates is affected by the same problem. It would appear, given this, that the problem is somewhere in Evolution's page generation mechanisms, but I certainly cannot navigate the source to find out—it's huge, and I would have no clue what to look for. -- Michael B.

I do not have a clue, either, but at least I am (huh, was) a programmer. From a brief look this afternoon I do not think this is related to libcairo anymore. It is interesting this affects Evolution only (or so it seems). It seems to be related to how Evolution gets its printing defaults and GTK (GTK is used to print), but I am yet to find where these defaults are taken from. Let's hope I find something -- or that a real Evolution maintainer pops up. -- MASTER: [Feisty] Evolution always tries to print A4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For clarity about the bug: Evolution always prints in A4 despite what is in /etc/cups/ppd/ or /etc/papersize.
