[Bug 441912] New: printing with firefox fails: wrong papersize
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441912 Summary: printing with firefox fails: wrong papersize Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: 32bit OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kssingvo@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development I'm living in Germany and therefore (Din) A4 paper is only avail here. Therefore I set in Firefox (3.0.3) the default page size to "A4": Menu -> File -> Page Setup: "Format for" "Any Printer" to "Paper size" = "A4" After I submitted a print job to the printer, the printer complains that the print job is in 8.5x10" (letter) and there is only A4 paper in the trays present. I had the choice to replace the A4 paper with Letter in the trays or to [C]ancel the job. As I don't have any Letter paper here, I had the only choice to Cancel the job and the printout is lost now!!! Printer/model: Xerox WorkCentre 7232 I had the same effect when "printing to file": gv shows that the page size is in Letter size. Firefox also tells (even after restart and re-checking Page Setup) in "about:config" filtering for "paper": print.postscript.paper_size = letter print.printer_Print_to_File.print_paper_name = na_letter I guess selection in Page Setup menu doesn't change anything. Rating to Critical as data is lost (dynamical data, like from web forms). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is the setting in the Page Setup still A4 or does it change back to Letter? The printing stuff changed completely in Firefox 3 and our cups paper size detection doesn't work anymore. I had the impression that setting to A4 does the right thing but I'm not sure since my printer seems to happily printing Letter format as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's also failing when I choose "Print to File" as printer device. The generated file is in Letter format and not A4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've set it to A4, printed something to a file and at least "evince mozilla.ps" is displaying that it actually is A4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I print a Expose from immowelt.de, I get Letter page size. To reproduce: - http://www.immowelt.de/Immobilien/ImmoDetail.aspx?ID=12188861 - search and press "Exposé drucken" --> new window - select "Drucken" - choose "Print to File" and see that generated file has "BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792" (Letter) instead of "BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842" (A4) Is the difference the "Drucken" button on the web page instead of the menu "print" call? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
