Bug Description

Binary package hint: cupsys

Using Ubuntu Jaunty as of April 7 with an HP D2560

Changing paper format to A4 has no effect neither in printer preferences nor in the printing settings dialog.

gedit /etc/papersize reveals that only "letter" is in that textfile. Adding "A4" to that file fixes the problem.

-> renders GUI settings completely useless. Changing papersize should actually change papersize, period.
