I found a workaround for a similar bug on my Ubuntu 10.04.4 desktop. When sending a document to my default printer, I could not change ANY settings in the print dialogue, including paper size, number of pages, etc... However, printing to a non-default printer opened up the dialog choices to allow change.
My workaround was to create a third printer, which I called Qoppa printer, with IDENTICAL settings that I cloned from my default printer. My printer list now consists of Dell-3110cn (a laserjet), Epson Workforce (an AIO inkjet), and Qoppa Printer (cloned laserjet settings). Instead of printing to default Dell-3110cn, I print to Qoppa Printer; I can change printer sizes, number of pages selected, etc... and it prints out to the default laserjet printer. VOILA!!!! If it helps in troubleshooting, this workaround seems to suggest the bug resides within the "default printer" settings and the java interaction with the default printer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601871 Title: doesn't print corectly on A4 paper size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/601871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
