[Qgis-user] Wrong page sizes for printers when running in Citrix environment?

[Johannes Kröger (WhereGroup)]

Hi list,

we have some trouble with the print dialog showing a completely made-up 
list of page sizes (of course missing the important ones to our users), 
identical for all our printers, when running QGIS in a Citrix 
environment. The same printers work fine and the page sizes are listed 
correctly when running QGIS locally on the same client.

This is super weird... I'd expect the list of page sizes to be a matter 
of the printer driver but apparently Qt might play into this.

Is this issue known to others? Or there others running QGIS in a Citrix 
environment without any issues regarding this? Does QGIS explicitely do 
anything to alter the print dialogs? Thanks!

We used the following piece of Python code to easily get a list of the 
printers and their page sizes:

    from qgis.PyQt.QtPrintSupport import *
    for printer_name in sorted(QPrinterInfo.availablePrinterNames()):
       print(printer_name)
       printer_info = QPrinterInfo.printerInfo(printer_name)
       page_sizes = sorted([ps.name() for ps in
    printer_info.supportedPageSizes()])
       print(page_sizes)
       print("="*42 

Cheers, Hannes
