Description Björn Bidar (Thaodan) 2016-09-09 10:17:29 UTC
When trying to print for example a pdf in A4 where as the default paper format of the printer is A3 it is printed as A3 instead of A4.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make shure that both formats that you test and your default printing formats are different
2. select another format than the default paper format
3. print

Actual Results:  
The result printing format is not the format that was set.

I tested another Qt app (qpdfview) and it has the same issue. So maybe the issue lies within Qt.
Comment 2 Björn Bidar (Thaodan) 2016-09-18 02:01:38 UTC
So is this bug in Qt or okular?
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2016-10-29 13:09:41 UTC
Can you run it from the shell and see what the debug output says?

I just printed a Executive sized page as A5 in a printer that defaults to Letter and it worked, the output i get from the debug says

Executing "lpr" with arguments ( ...  "-o", "media=A5" ... )

so the right media is passed to the printer.
