[cups.general] Cups and Slackware 13

[John¹]

I have installed Slackware 13 on one of the hard disks of my computer in 
order that I can get it working properly before changing over from 12.2.

My main problem is that I cannot get CUPS to change from 'Letter', which I 
presume is an American size, to A4. Whilst the menu will select A4 the test 
page it produces is a distorted 'Letter' test page, and not as previously 
an A4 Test page, and my word processor produces good quality A4 printing 
but on a 'Letter' sized printing area, which leaves the top cut off, has 
anyone else had experience of this problem? All suggestions as to a 
solution are welcomed. Could it be that my printer, a Samsung ML-1210 and 
its gdd.ppd are now too old, (they still work perfectly on the previous 
version of CUPS on the previous version of Slackware, (even printing 
envelopes)?
