Gavin, One quick thought here. How were the above PPD files installed? From the default CUPS installation or via the "import PPD file" action menu item that is in printconf-gui? It might be worthwhile considering the possibility that these files are corrupted and/or perhaps have improper access permissions. Deleting and re-installing these might help here. It is the PPD (Postscript Printer Driver) files that provide configuration setting information to CUPS for Postscript printers. Just a thought. > And the dialogue chooses US LETTER.

If it is not too late, check the above before filing a bug report, just in case it is a local issue. Regards, Marc
Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. The ppd files came from CUPS. They were generated (I assume) when I added the printers uing printconf-gui. I didn't import them from anywhere else. This is all on a vanilla FC5 install with a few apps added from standard yum repositories and all relevant updates added via yum. I've filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191034 Will see if anything comes from it. Thanks for all your help. All the best, G
