Description C de-Avillez 2007-06-27 20:38:10 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Ubuntu original bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/86426

Evolution Print dialog does not provide for other page sizes, and it is hardcoded for A4. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. make a printer available, with -- say -- US Letter paper.
2. Select any e-mail, and print
3. either you have to override the printer warning, or the printed pages are cut off


Actual results:
print image is generated for A4 page size independent of what paper size is specified for the printer.

Expected results:
Evolution should query the printer/PPD and use the default page size.

Ideally, Evolution should provide for setting the page size as a default (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446894) and as an ad-hoc option (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427748)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Evolution 2.11.4 seems to print on other page sizes, but still seems to format for A4 -- so printing on US Letter results on printing truncation.

OK. Found bug 426816, of which this is a duplicate. Will mark so.
