There are two different paper sizes:
- the document one
- the printer (system) one.
Historically under Unix, the printer paper size is not known (as you have
written, it is not the case of CUPS.)
But we currently have a problem with the document page size, as QT cannot
support a custom page size. Trolltech has now answered that this problem will
be fixed in QT 3.2. Only then we could fix the next version of KDE to have a
KPrinter supporting custom pages too. Finally when this is done, we will be
able to fix the next KOffice (probably 1.4, probably out in late Summer
2004.)
Have a nice day/evening/night!
