I think you replied to the wrong email? You are probably referring to

---- don't hold your breath for fix in Fedora 7...supposedly fixed in Fedora 8

Ah, thanks.
Guess I'll go back to Thunderbird until then.

Hi Hugh,
It's not just you, but I think this is a "feature" that has been bugzilla'd upstream but do not think it gets fixed until we make a big jump version wise. Perhaps it will be fixed with F8 next week....
BTW, I've tried the /etc/papersize file thing suggested when I googled this but it did not fix it for me. Guess we're not supposed to print long emails... :-)

What frosts my pumkin is that even lpoptions -o PageSize=Letter does not work.

---- much as you said the last time that we covered this exact topic and again, you are choosing to ignore that this bug has been fully covered in bugzilla since May and I remember we revisited this in August.

That's novel. I'm more used to (and irritated by) software that wants to print letter-sized.
I figure that when I choose "Australia/Perth" during install, that that implies I speak Australian English, that I use metric measure and that my normal paper size is A4. Oh, and 03/02/48 is the third day of February in 1948.

Actually, it's the other way around, as demonstrated by Paul Hogan with a basketball, and a tub of water, in the 1970s. Paraphrasing, as my memory is not THAT good:
We know the north pole is magnetic, that means that there's a lot of metal there. So we'll tape a magnet to the top of this basketball representing the earth, and float it in some water, representing space. Now watch as north pole spins around to the bottom, as it's heavier than the rest. Therefor, the north pole is actually at the bottom of the planet.

Check the Ubuntu forum. The problem seems to be a bug in the html-gtk library and is not that simple to fix, at least for the user. What I have been doing is cutting and pasting into another application like gedit and printing from there. The bug has been flagged and eventually the developers will fix it.

Maybe an more straight forward solution is to print to CUPS/PDF, and then print the pdf file. That seems to work.
