I also filed this on cups, and Michael Sweet suggests that is is a distro issue:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3119 since the version of cups being used on Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 8.10 are identical: 1.3.9. Here is the relevant section of the message file: [r...@kathleen ~]$ lpr -o PageSize=Custom.4.125x9.5in ~/proj/foo2zjs/testpage.ps ## Fedora 10.

Based on a suggestion of Michael Sweet's to activate "cupsctl --debug-loggin" after posting on cups forums, I discovered the following in /var/log/cups/error_log: D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] Found: %%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize True D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] Unknown option CustomPageSize=True foun d in the job D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] Found: %% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: Pag eSize=Custom D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] Option: PageSize=Custom D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] --> Invalid option setting found in job Any suggestions? -- Custom PageSize has broken with lp/foo2zjs after upgrade to 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
