Incorrect paper size (CUPS assumes A4, etc when printer us US-sized) #28

Open zacs opened 5 months ago

zacs commented 5 months ago

I have my printer working just fine from Mac OS, where the printer defaults to letter size (the only thing the printer can really do).

However when I try to use Airprint, the sheet size options I get are only A4, A5, A6, and envelope. When I print with A4, iOS seems to think everything is fine. But CUPS has no record of the job, even as a failed one.

Any ideas or a way to turn on more verbose logging?

This also appears to be the case in standard MacOS printing:

The printer is just a normal US letter laserjet. Is there a way for me to tell CUPS the correct paper type? I am guessing this is not actually an issue with the Docker image...

Hmm, inside the container's /etc/cups/ PPD file everything appears to be right. I wonder if this is just a MacOS issue?

I'm having the same issue with my Brother Laser printer only offering 4 letter sizes on IOS, and none of them are Letter size.

chuckcharlie commented 2 months ago

Sorry, I haven't had time to look at this. I will try to troubleshoot this weekend. I did confirm I have the same issue though. I just realized I have been using A4 the whole time and never noticed.

zacs commented 2 months ago

In the past I couldn't even print (it just silently failed) some docs. I thought it was because of this weirdness, but was wrong

The actual problem is that the brlaser package in apt and apk is old. I ended up having to compile the latest from source inside the container. I know the fix and could open a PR to build brlaser from source, but wasn't sure if that would be welcome, given it is a little heavy-handed and most folks aren't using Brother USB printers. If interested, I can submit though!

Seeing this same issue when printing on macOS/iOS/iPad OS to an HP LaserJet 4015.

I'm also seeing this issue with a Ricoh SP C250DN
