My problem is this: when I set up gnome-print config from default, I can only choose from the handful of sizes (Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, Monarch Envelope). No A0-A3, A5, B0-B6, etc. It seems that this is because my CUPS printing system only supports that handful of sizes. Is there a way to initialize config to the Postscript backend so that more paper sizes are available to set in config?Install the correct PPD file for your printer? Unless I am mistaken, CUPS generates the media-supported list from values in the PPD file. If the print driver says that a queue only supports a certain collection of sizes, why would you generate documents of a different size?
What if I don't have any printing system installed? I still could use the generic postscript backend to produce PS for whatever size. However, the gnome-print config on the machine without CUPS is stuck with A4 and would not let me set the page size to anything else. If I could switch the config to the PS backend somehow, I could choose between all the PS sizes. Is that possible? Maybe it should be a fallback when CUPS is not installed?
