Cups and Samba paper size mismatech

[Gil Freund]

Hi,

We have a CUPS/SAMBA installation:
Debian Sarge
CUPS 1.1.21
SAMBA 3.0.7

We have come across a strange issue with HP printers (Laserjet 5, PCL and LaserJet 5SI, Postscript):
CUPS was setup with a default of A4 paper size. However, in SAMBA the users see only Letter size and cannot change this option. The document is sent to the printer as Letter, which stops printing until there is a user intervention.

This does not seem to happen in the other printer (Phaser 350, Phaser 8400, and other printers using PCL5 and PCL6 Emulation).

Any pointers on how this can be changed?

Thanks


Gil
