Description Christian Persch 2006-06-10 21:11:04 UTC 
Steps:
0) Create unix print dialogue
1) Run it
2) Get GtkPrintSettings from it
3) gtk_print_settings_get_paper_size

This will always return NULL, at least in my testing.

According to my reading of the code, paper size is only set in the print settings
on win32. On unix, the print dialog does not have paper selection, since we have the separate page setup dialog, and thus the paper size is taken from the page setup. 

You should still be able to manually set a paper size in the print settings if you want, though.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2007-04-30 08:00:24 UTC 
Yes, normally you need layout information like page size ahead of printing.

I do remember talking about taking the default (i.e. if not specified by the app) page setup from the selected printer though, so that you can print to the native printer page size in a more limited printing case with no page setup. We don't do this atm though.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
