SuSE's cups defaults to A4... if you are like me and live where
there's a format called "letter", then you'll need to configure
your cups printer's paper size.  Use the cups administration
directly though... I don't think YaST has everything quite
figured out with regards to cups yet.

Everytime you make a change to your printer you may want
to re-verify the papersize... seems to get set to A4
even when you don't want it.

If anyone knows how to alter the cups default behavior to
use letter rather than a4, please post.

This might not be your problem... just something I've
noticed.  Also, for anyone using 8.0 (not 8.1) you'll
need an update libgimpprint in order to use an epson
printer... there's a bug in libgimpprint.

Thanks,
Chris
