Evince ignores printers page sizes

[Sean Clarke]

Evince appears to ignore a printers default, last and other paper size details, here is the scenario...

Printer One is an A4 printer and it's paper size is A4
Printer Two is an A3 printer and it's paper size is A3
Printer Three is an A1 plotter and it's paper size is A1

A PDF is opened and printed to Printer One and the page is printed as expected.

Another PDF is opened, this time Printer Two is selected and the page size is set (in the printer dialog) to A3, the page prints as expected.

Another PDF is opened and Printer One is selected again - HOWEVER the page size remains as A3 and the print is thrown away, the page size is now manually changed again to A4 and it prints as expected

Another PDF is opened, Printer Three is selected and the page size is set to A1 - the drawing prints as expected.

Another PDF is opened, it's an A4 PDF and Printer One is selected - HOWEVER the print fails as evince sends it as A1 (the last selected size) to the A4 printer.

This is not how other packages work whereby the application/system remembers the last page size for that particular printer rather than the last page size used.

When I select different printers I expect the page size to change, not to change the page size and printer for every print - especially annoying when you have 3 printers set permanently at 3 different sizes.

LibreOffice, MS Office, Chrome etc. all behave differently.
