HPLIP Toolbox print settings have no influence on cups

[unggnu]

Binary package hint: hplip

If I change e.g. the paper size from letter to A4 in HPLIP Toolbox it has no influence on the Cups setting. I have to manually also change this with one of the gnome printer configuration tools. This happens even for the quality settings and I guess all others too.
This bug happens in Jaunty and at least until Breezy in all other Ubuntu versions.

Btw. why doesn't hplip toolbox or the cups configuration tool change the global paper variable too. According to the Apport attachments my default paper size is still letter while I have set A4 in the printer configurations.
I guess this variables are the reason why some programs (e.g. Evolution or Document Viewer) print many pages cropped.

Could this also be related to the other bugs and comments I've posted regarding problems with the CD/DVD tray selection and photo tray selection? I'm running Intrepid and the only version of HPLIP that works properly for me is the old repository version 2.8.7. I'm using a C5580.
