New Printer - Problems with paper size settings

Post by Tootler »

I've just bought a new printer and I find that the paper size settings in Wine are misbehaving.

In every case the initial setting was "Index Card 3x5 in". I have reset that to A4 paper size, my desired default, in each app and the printing works OK printing to A4 paper as desired. However, when I next use the app the paper size has reset itself to either the 5X3 index card or to "A5 Borderless". I have checked the printer setup in Linux itself and the paper size is correctly set to A4 and printing from native Linux apps prints to A4 no problems.

There is clearly something not right and I thought there might be somewhere where I can set default printer settings for Wine but I can't find anything.

I am have Wine 1.3.21 in Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and the printer is a Hewlett Packard Photosmart Plus B210 series.

TIA
