[Bug 34112] Re: cannot configure printer

[Gerry Tool]

The gnome-cups-manager app appears to change the paper size from A4 to US Letter, but if I print a test page it is still A4.  The change is not persistent.  When I look at the properties of the printer again, it is still set to A4.  I tried in the localhost:631 interface, but according to the page it is disabled, and of course if I enter my name and password, it just keeps asking over again.  Since there is no root account, I can't try as root in the web interface.

If I run sudo gnome-cups-manager, the paper size change sticks.  However, since the web interface still shows the paper size to be A4 (yes, I did a fresh view), thee is a very large upper margin on the top of the page.  I have had this problem in many gnome systems, and it is always indicative that localhost:631 and gnome-cups-manager have different settings.

Since I can't make the change in localhost:631, I cannot get rid of this large top margin.  This causes progarms like glabels to not be able to line up the label with the medium.
