Bug#323145: glabels: Glabels ignores default printer setting

Package: glabels
Version: 2.0.2-3
Severity: normal

As the subject says... glabels ignores both the per-user default
printer, and the system default printer, defaulting every time to the
"Generic Postscript" printer setting provided by Gnome itself.

This wouldn't be so bad, as you *can* select the proper printer from the
list, but glabels gives you zero access to the printer properties
(unlike most Gnome applications), and you thus can't change the other
mistakes it's made, where it's trying to print on A4 paper via the
printer's manual input tray, despite both CUPS' web-ui and
gnome-cups-manager agreeing that the default is US Letter and the main
paper tray (known as Tray2) should be the input device.
