Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer-kde

Even though US LETTER is specified in the printer and in the system default settings, KDE will send an A4 paper request to the printer which will result in the hp 4600 asking in the display whether it is ok to print on letter instead and requires manual interaction for every single page printed. Printing out of openoffice, firefox and chrome works fine, the problem only exists for kde applications (lets say okular). The printer driver used is:

HP Color LaserJet 4600 v3010.107 Postscript (recommended)

happening on latest lucid.

Please ask if more information is required.

affects: system-config-printer-kde (Ubuntu) → kdebase (Ubuntu)

I had the same issue with okular but can print no-problem with evince. I think the fix has been committed: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6471 but I guess it has not made its way to the distributions yet.
