David,
I've got a Dell 5100cn at home and use the Dell provided PPD w/o trouble.
~$ ldd /usr/bin/enscript | grep paper
libpaper.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpaper.so.1 (0x4289b000)
Enscript uses libpaper, so:
Please check your /etc/papersize file and ensure it's got "letter"
in it. Otherwise try setting the environment variable
PAPERSIZE=letter
in your shell startup scripts.
Also, for CUPS, check 'lpoptions':
~/.cups/lpoptions
/etc/cups/lpoptions
and use the 'lpoptions' command to view/set your default options:
e.g. (at work w/ LaserJet 4100):
~$ lpoptions
job-sheets=none,none printer-info='HP LaserJet 4100' printer-is-accepting-jobs=1 printer-is-shared=1 printer-make-and-model='HP LaserJet 4100 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)' printer-state=3 printer-state-reasons=none printer-type=12308 PageRegion=Letter media=Letter page-top=36 page-bottom=36 page-left=36 page-right=36 cpi=12 lpi=7 wrap=true scaling=100 _kde-filters=true number-up=2
