I had problems printing on A4 paper with Postscript Print Buffer (ps-print-buffer-with-faces). I have ps-paper-type set to a4 and the resulting Postscript contains: %%DocumentMedia: A4 595 842 0 () () and %%PageMedia: A4 Nevertheless the printer requests letter size paper and when I force it to use A4, the top op the text is chopped off. It seems that CUPS is not honoring the %%DocumentMedia and %%PageMedia comments. Is this normal? Or is this a macosx specific problem? For the time being I solved it by the using lpoptions command to make A4 the default, however this would make it impossible to use other formats, e.g. photo's I presume. Is the same problem appearing on other systems that use CUPS? -- Piet van Oostrum URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
