Firefox is showing no option i.e. if I select Print/Page
settings the
option of Paper dimension is fully greyed.
When I use Openoffice (Calc for example) A3 can be printed
if I select
paper format A3 and this selection overrides Paper
dimensions in
Printer options, i.e. when an A4 format is selected
in OO an A4 is
printed even if I have the option to choose between A3 and
A4. (And it
works similarly for A3)
I am confused, first time that I have a double option
printer :-)
Have you tried using File->Page Setup to change the paper size in Firefox before
printing instead of going through File->Print->Page Setup? In my version of FF
(3.5.10 64-bit, Fedora 12-64-bit), the page sizes are selectable in the first option, but
not in the second. And under the first option, the new paper size chosen and applied does
show in the Print requester when Print (or Ctrl-P) is selected.
