Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.25-2

When I print from eg:AbiWord to the multipurpose tray of an Apple
LaserWriter 8500 the correct papersize is not set. 

I have been told by the cups newsgroup that, according to the PPD, the 
Apple LaserWriter 8500 needs PageRegion set to the correct paper size 
to print from the multipurpose tray. 

PageSize apears to be set, PageRegion always seams to stay at one value.

The following two examples were printed from gnome to the localhost cups
server v 1.1.21rc1 

PostScript output trying to print A3

Second example with MediaSize set to A3 in cups printer configuration
web interface, this actually worked (but not to a remote cups server v
1.1.14)

Third example printed from winxp, which always works.

Although I have managed to print out some pages correctly from debian to
the multipurpose tray, it is inconsistant, or I just cant figure out
what makes the difference.
