Hi,

It will be great, if the printing feature provide the possibility to select the "type of paper" ( or paper size ). For example in GIMP (2.4.7) it's possible in printer setup -> paper setup : type of paper.

Context : I'm using an Canon MP640. I would like to print on Photo Paper (i.e Canon PP-201 4"x6"). Photo paper must be load in a specific tray (rear tray). To choose this tray, the driver provide (with CUPS) the possibility to choose the dedicated paper. Each dedicated paper is linked with a tray and a paper size (i.e. The driver provide this choice : "Photo paper plus glossy II" (= canon ref. pp-201), this paper is 4"x6" size and must be put in the rear tray.)

Example of application : today I would like to print identity photo (to use it on sport or student card)

Thank's a lot about your good tools.

Hervé
