You might want to delete or rename this file to ascertain the
possibility that one or more local settings are causing a default
mis-configuration for your user profile.

Also check /etc/cups/lpoptions to what is set for system level settings.

Perhaps. I am not sure what additional interactions might come into play
when using SSH. What conflicts might be present between your work
computer and your home computer in this modality.

I would first get your work computer running correctly (if possible)
before trying this over a SSH connection. Parsimony...  :-)

Agreed.

Happy to help. Hopefully it leads in the direction of resolution.

Hi Marc,

Got into work and played a little, and I think I'm getting closer to
the problem now. Running evince from the command line for example
yields the following errors when opening the print dialog:

Model not found, discarding config
GnomePrintCupsPlugin-Message: The ppd file for the CUPS printer
HPColourLaserJ could not be loaded.
GnomePrintCupsPlugin-Message: The ppd file for the CUPS printer
HPLaserJ could not be loaded.

And the dialogue chooses US LETTER. Now, if I close the print dialog
and then open it again, I don't get a second set of warnings about not
being able to open the ppd files for my printers, and now,
micraulously the default paper is A4. So I assume something is going
wrong in finding the defaults at first, but which works the second
time round. This happens with and without /etc/cups/lpoptions and
.lpoptions.

A similar thing happens with Evolution, except it never gets the paper
correct on second opening of the print dialog - same messages from
GnomePrintCupsPlugin though.

So I guess this is a bug and will complete a bug report for it in FC5 Bugzilla.

Many thanks,

G
