Yes, I use a hp printer, with the default hpijs driver.

re #22: Using the default printing dialog i get the correct media type 
selection.

Using the kipi print assistant/wizard I do not get the correct media type 
selection.

Attempting to print on a 10x15cm photo paper using the kipi wizard, I wanted 
to use a custom page size, but that is, as you say, not possible with my hp 
printer.

Therefore it is a bad bug in the kipi wizard that the correct media selection 
is not available: I can not print a 10x15cm image full bleed with the wizard, 
as far as i can figure out.

Using the default KDE print dialog I can select the correct size of media, but 
I have not been able to print a full bleed image on it. Using the "fit to 
page" option does make odd margins, while using scale is just broken, it cuts 
of sides and squeezes the image vertically.

re #23, the bug described in this report exists, also for you. Blame it on 
CUPS, the HP driver or Qt: it exists. You can select a custom page size, but 
not define it. Broken. If the custom page size can not be defined, it should 
not be an option. IMO it should be an option, and definable.

re #24: The screenshot is there to prove that as opposed to the kipi wizard 
page settings, the printer properties of the default KDE print dialog, using 
the same widget (or exactly similar) is able to display the correct media 
list. The spinboxes should only be enabled for "custom" media.
