Comment 1 for bug 338999

I also filed this on cups, and Michael Sweet suggests that is is a distro issue:

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3119

since the version of cups being used on Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 8.10 are identical: 1.3.9.

Here is the relevant section of the message file:

[rick@kathleen ~]$ lpr -o PageSize=Custom.4.125x9.5in ~/proj/foo2zjs/testpage.ps

## Fedora 10. Works fine

[rick@kathleen ~]$ root grep foo2zjs /var/log/messages

## Ubuntu 8.10. Note "-pCustom.297x684" on Fedora 10, but -p1 here
## This seems to be the source of the problem.

In essence, the Custom PageSize isn't being passed on.

Based on a suggestion of Michael Sweet's to activate "cupsctl --debug-loggin" after posting on cups forums, I discovered the following in /var/log/cups/error_log:

D [07/Mar/2009:22:53:50 -0500] [Job 486] Found: %%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize True

Any suggestions?
