Title:
  Evince ignores printers page sizes

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Evince appears to ignore a printers default, last and other paper size
  details, here is the scenario...

  Printer One is an A4 printer and it's paper size is A4
  Printer Two is an A3 printer and it's paper size is A3
  Printer Three is an A1 plotter and it's paper size is A1

  A PDF is opened and printed to Printer One and the page is printed as
  expected.

  Another PDF is opened, this time Printer Two is selected and the page
  size is set (in the printer dialog) to A3, the page prints as
  expected.

  Another PDF is opened and Printer One is selected again - HOWEVER the
  page size remains as A3 and the print is thrown away, the page size is
  now manually changed again to A4 and it prints as expected

  Another PDF is opened, Printer Three is selected and the page size is
  set to A1 - the drawing prints as expected.

  Another PDF is opened, it's an A4 PDF and Printer One is selected -
  HOWEVER the print fails as evince sends it as A1 (the last selected
  size) to the A4 printer.

  This is not how other packages work whereby the application/system
  remembers the last page size for that particular printer rather than
  the last page size used.

  When I select different printers I expect the page size to change, not
  to change the page size and printer for every print - especially
  annoying when you have 3 printers set permanently at 3 different
  sizes.

  LibreOffice, MS Office, Chrome etc. all behave differently.
