Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Canon PIXMA mp640 default media size

[Thomas T. <th...@ha...>]

Given the recent discussion about issues with Canon printers and 5.2.12 
I tried downgrading to 5.2.11, but it appears to behave the same. It 
complains that there is no paper in the manual tray if I select A4, but 
works if I select Letter format, even though I've set the default media 
size to A4 and the cassette contains only A4.
