Bug Description

Binary package hint: foomatic-db

I use the web interface to print a test page to the Lexmark Optra E laser printer. The "Lexmark Optra E Foomatic/hpijs" from hardy still works fine and reports media limits of 6x5 millimeters. The lucid "Lexmark Optra E Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5e" driver uses 0x0 media limits and thus prints off the paper.

(I tried to verify the hpijs being left-over from my hardy install but it's kind of hard to track printer driver origin -> question 102464 at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/102464)

The lucid gutenprint driver uses 4x4 media limits and that seems to be still usable, but it's quite close to the edge, especially on the right side and bottom.
