fairly new install of kubuntu 18.04.1. okular ignores printer settings and always defaults to A4. i read another thread here about gwenview having the same issue and my gwenview also stuck on A4. both packages show to be built with qt 5.9.5.
there was a bug report listed on gentoo where okular was ignoring printer settings (this bug was about duplex mode) and the issue was in libqt5printsupport5. the update 5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1 was available, so it was updated from 5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu1. prior to the update, you could set okular to letter but it would still send A4 to printer. with this update, changing to letter does send to the printer correctly. the setting is simply not maintained.
is there another patch or update available that addresses this issue?
thanks,
