Well, /etc/papersize should be sourced when seeking a default setting, unless |

$PAPERSIZE, or $PAPERCONF is set. |

In any case, cups should be able to change the printer's default setting to a |
12 |
different size. Also various applications should be able to select a |
13 |
different size when submitting individual print jobs, or we would have trouble |
14 |
printing labels, envelopes, photographs and what have you. What should not |
15 |
really happen is setting defaults for the OS, the printer and the application |
16 |
and then ALL OF THEM being ignored by Brother's lpdwrapper script. Or am I |
17 |
asking too much by companies who shy away from publishing openprinting code. |
