Hello, I isolated the problem, to being KDE only applications. The printing to desired paper trays from LibreOffice, Firefox and Gimp works perfectly. But as soon as, for example kwrite or gwenview comes into the game, the paper trays are wrong. You can see it, that the printer window is the same in gwenview, kwrite, whatsever. Thats why I posted this to KDE, then they told me that the print dialog comes from QT, so I went to QT bugzilla. I can prove this bug on a fresh installed openSuSE 11.4 machine. There is just one cups version installed (1.4.6). In my opinion, it must be a QT bug, because Gimp and others do work. The situation is like this: You have a HP printer (or maybe another) with 1 manual feeder (Tray 1), 1 built-in feeder 250 sheets (Tray 2) and an additional one with 500 sheets (Tray 3). Everyone is loaded with paper, beside Tray 1, it'll contain labels. The papertrays 2-3 are set to A4 default paper, the Tray 1 is set to any paper, containing different labels. Now the print command (you want to print to A4 Paper, Tray 3) is sent to the Printer (orientating from QT Print), and here comes the problem. He doesn't sent the Tray 3 command correctly to the printer. He just sees there is something to print, and selects Tray 1, because its loaded and can print every size of paper.
For example does the bug still happen using a Qt-only app (non-KDE)?
Don't know which one I could test... Do you have maybe an example?
Does it happen on different distributions?
I don't know. We just run openSuSE 11.2 and 11.4, KDE 4.6. The problem occured with KDE4.6 on openSuSE 11.4.
Different printers?
Yes, different HP printers (We just have HP with add. Paper trays).
CUPS versions?
Didn't try another cups versions yet. I'll try this asap.
If you have the expertise to dive into the code, even better, but it's not necessary. Once you've isolated the problem it's a much easier task for the developers. Until a problem is reproduceable on the developer's machine it's not solvable.
Sadly, I don't have. Otherwise I would have completly rewritten the whole KDE printing system.. ;) Best regards, Johannes Müller-Lahn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
