I'm running suse 12.1x86 (Gnome 3) with cups 1.5.x (guessing, I'm not at my pc right now). We have a network-connected Xerox printer and recently we changed its IP.
Connection to the printer was configured through socket like: socket://1.1.1.1:9100/
.
I was changing IP in my configuration "the lazy way" - editing the configs. I did following:
- stopped cups
- edited
printers.conf
andprinters.conf.0
and changedsocket://1.1.1.1:9100
tosocket://2.2.2.2:9100
- started cups
- checked if change went ok (it did)
With the old configuration everything was working superb. After I changed the IP, my cups keeps telling me I have selected "US Letter" paper format (I was using and want to use A4). Also apps like LibreOffice and gedit default to "US Letter" and even if I change the settings in them directly it doesn't work - they immediatelly back from "A4" to the "US Letter". But when I look into cups web interface on localhost:631 everything is set to the "A4" and correct.
I also tried reinstalling cups by deleting:
/etc/cups/*
/var/spool/cups
/var/log/cups
and reinstalling through zypper in --force cups
with no effect. Do you have any ideas where I should look now?
(Needles to say i tried to delete and create printer, reconfigure it through web interface and those obvious things.)
This is also the file that lets you set up everything else such as duplex printing. – Arthur – 2015-01-16T19:10:20.947
