When printing using firefox, evince or other gnome programs, the printers default resolution is ignored.
This is different from #434242, which reports evince not saving user defaults.

PPD file for HP LaserJet 4000 generated by system-config-printer-1.2.3-3.fc13

Description of problem:
Open the "Print" dialog window of gedit and choose the system default printer HP LaserJet 4000 whose default image quality has been set to 600 dpi. Moving to tab "Image Quality" reveals however that the resolution is still set to 300 dpi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk2-2.20.1-1.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch gedit.
2. Choose default printer with an image quality of 600 dpi.

Actual results:
Tab "Image Quality" still shows 300 dpi.

Expected results:
Tab "Image Quality" shows 600 dpi.

Additional info:
Attached printer is an HP LaserJet 4000 with PC file name "laserjet.ppd" ("HP LaserJet Series PCL 4/5") as recommended by system-config-printer-1.2.3-3.fc13.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a cups printer (ipp here) that supports different output resolutions. Make the finest resolution the default. Then open a pdf using evince and try to print it.
Expected result: Finest resolution gets selected in printing dialog.
Observed result: Lowest resolution gets selected.

Thanks for your work there, could you also send the bug and patch to bugzilla.gnome.org? Ideally that would go upstream as well

Looks like I've missed the appropiate upstream bug before which already contains a much simpler fix. I've verified that that fix works too and created a debdiff that just uses that one.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
