Force CUPS Print Server To Fit-to-page
Greetings,
I’ve just set up an AirPrint server for a home office by following instructions in
https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2013/154/AirPrint-in-Linux and https://github.com/jpawlowski/airprint-generate
Printer works just fine except for a problem described in
https://serverfault.com/questions/897140/force-cups-print-server-to-fit-to-page-if-job-is-not-a4
Text jobs sent from iOS devices print full pages but photos and images print size is 4×6 inches instead of 8.5×11.
CUPS v1.6.3 on CentOS 7.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Please advise, Josh.

Did you set /etc/papersize?
Initially I did not, because based on
man paperconf
the default paper size is letter. Still, after running
sudo paperconfig -p letter
which created /etc/papersize and restarting cups there are no changes.
Josh.
Any other suggestions? Does anyone on this list use CUPS as a print server for Apple devices or is a CUPS expert?

Thank you, Josh.
Usually for CUPS issues, I check to see if a MacOS-X system shows the same problem. If it doesn’t then I try to work out what the Mac has set up differently to make it work. This can be from a different PPD
to a ‘helper’ program which does a translation. That is as far as my
‘expertise’ goes on CUPS these days.
