    Sorry for the late reply.

    I had already edited my ppd file a while ago, and I'm not sure I made a
    backup of the original. I'm still clueless about how these files are
    generated and installed exactly. So I cannot promise I can try the sed
    script at this point. But if someone sends me a ppd file to try out I can certainly test it on my system.

    I can attach the file as I'm using it now later today, if that's helpful.

    Attached is my original (-a) PPD file and the modified one (-b, which works for me). Turns out the changes are the same as in the diff attached earlied by Agustin, except I used the FB suffix rather than Fullbleed.

    Hi,

    Names I used are those pointed out in https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/1078

    ...
    WARN Size “Envelope#10.FB” should be the Adobe standard name “Env10.Fullbleed”.
    ...
    WARN Size “JapaneseEnvelope#4.FB” should be the Adobe standard name “EnvChou4.Fullbleed”.
    ...

    Not sure whether it matters, I don't have that paper format anyway :-)

    I thing that is some sort of internal key name for page sizes, so both FB
    and Fullbleed might work well, as long as they do not contain forbidden
    chars. If something is to be changed, even locally in Debian, I would go for the standards Adobe names, just in case.

    PS: Even if diff has the .old suffix, it has the right contents.
