a2ps 4.13 "Options: --medium= " in a2ps.cfg is beeing ignored

[Bernd Prager]

Hi,

I'm using a2ps 4.13 on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.20.

 

I installed an OfficeJet and had to adjust my medium.

(I never did that before, so I can't say if my troubles are version related.)

 

When I invoke the new medium via command line it's working perfectly.

I set the same medium in my a2ps.cfg file, but here it's getting 

completely ignored. I tried both "Options: --medium=OfficeJet" and "Options: -M OfficeJet".

 

Yes, the definition of Medium happens before the "Options: --medium" line.

And no, there's no other a2ps.cfg or a2psrc file on my system or any environment

variable A2PS_CONFIG.

 

This is, how the relevant parts of my a2ps.cfg look like:

 

------ snip ----------------

#################################################################
# 1)        Definition of some media            #
# (Must be defined before --medium)             #
#################################################################
# Medium: name, width height [llx lly urx ury]
Medium: A3      842    1190
Medium: A4      595     842
...

Medium: OfficeJet   612 792 24  10  588 752

 

#################################################################
# 2)    Path to the a2ps resource               #

#################################################################
# 3)    Default settings                    #
#################################################################
# OfficeJet format
Options: --medium=OfficeJet

 

# Two virtual pages per sheet
Options: -2
...

------ snip ----------------

 

Is this a bug or do I miss something here?

Thanks a lot for help,
