GIMP keeps reducing the paper size

Hi,

I'm using GIMP 2.6.4 (same happens in 2.6.3)

I want to print a photo (on a photo paper 4x6), to a HP Officeject j6410, via CUPS 1.3.9.

1) open the picture 2) File->Page Setup
3) Format for: I select the printer
4) Paper size: I select "Photo or 4x6 inch index card" 5) the correct size appears: 101.6x152.4 mm 6) close the dialog.

Now, each time I reopen the Page Setup and click APPLY I see a different size

1st) 101.6 x 152.4 2nd) 53.6 x 35.8
3rd) 19 x 12.6
4th) 6.7 x 4.5
5th) 2.4 x 1.6
.....

On top of that, the "Format for" field has been reverted to "Any printer"

If I try to print the picture, (File -> Print) I see exactly those sizes (which I cannot change). Actually I see the "next" size in the list.

Does anybody have a clue?

Forgot to say: I don't need to click APPLY. Cancel will do. Moreover, sometimes the 2 sizes are swapped.

It happens for most of the sizes that are specific to the printer. The ones appearing under "Any printer" seem to be ok.

I've found more about that.
Last time I managed to print I was still using gimp 2.4.7. I will file a bug report.

Cheers

I know it seems impossible, but this is exactly what happens. Anybody has got an idea?
