I want to print a greeting card in B6 format on a template paper with 2xB6 areas for folding (it's a 170x230mm paper card). As there is no predefined format for that, I was trying to select "custom" ("manual") in the paper size selection box and entered my page dimensions. However, the paper selection stays at the previous selection "4x6in", and the custom dimensions are ignored, leading to a printout at 4x6in on my 170x230mm paper. Also, after selecting different paper sizes, there is no going back to manual or custom page sizes anymore, as the text area always stays grayed out. You have to close and reopen the dialog to make it accessible again. I am using TurboPrint drivers, but also with standard Gutenprint drivers, I get the same behaviour in the paper setup.
This sounds very much like a Qt bug which has just recently been fixed by Albert in Qt's development branch: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/215054/
Created attachment 122940 [details] Okular print properties Page Custom size media When printing from Okular with a page that is a Custom size sheet, tried setting the media size property in Page and advance Tabs to the 'custom' sheet. In the page tab it remembers the Custom setting but does not allow editing of the sheet dimensions. Okular should be using the dimensions from the file automatically. In the Advanced tab the "Media Size" property is listed twice, wher the first occurance saves the selected option of 'Custom' but the second occurance always reverts back to 'Letter' This appears to be the reason for the Error.

What version of Okular are you using? The screenshot looks like this is still a Qt 4 based version, and as far as I know, this has been fixed in Qt 5, so should no longer be the case for recent Okular versions.

I am using OpenSUSE 13.2 which appears to use qt3. qt4 and qt5 are not even install options, so I guess I need to upgrade to a more recent OpenSUSE version. See attachments YAST...* and YAST_Okular...

Yes, please upgrade, that's a very old and unsupported version then. Thanks for the additional information.
You have okular from the old KDE Applications bundle, 4.14.3, which is based on Qt 4 and very very old (from 2014). Your openSUSE version has been released in 2014 and it has been out of support since the beginning of 2017, you should really upgrade your system: https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE_version_history
I will upgrade. Thank you, Bruce.

I am still working towards the upgrade.
(In reply to Bug Janitor Service from comment #17) The upgrade to openSUSE 15.1 LEAP is complete. HPLIP version 3.18.6 is installed according to YAST. I had installed HPLIP 3.19.10 from command line when configuring the printer the configuration stated that there was no HPLIP so it installed HPLIP version 3.18.6 from repository. Okular does not print at all to the HP1120C printer. It does print to my Epson printer. I have tried both drivers the Gutenprint and Cups_Pcl.

Therefore, please open a new bug report for this, if you think that this is actually an Okular issue (e.g. printing does work for all other applications)
