I can see this bug on Debian Testing as well.
Messages from the console are:
kipi.plugins: 0x4c219d8
kipi.plugins: printers: 1
kipi.plugins: printer: "EPSON-Epson-Stylus-SX420W"
kipi.plugins: current "Select page layout"
kipi.plugins: "Select page layout"
kipi.plugins: New page size QSizeF(210, 297) , old page size
QSizeF(-1, -1)
kipi.plugins: d->m_photoSizes.count()= 0
kipi.plugins: d->m_photoSizes.isEmpty()= true
kipi.plugins: Empty photoSize-list, create default size
I'm guessing that perhaps in parsing the templates.xml file it looks for
a paper size of 210x297 and fails to match against the A4 size of
210.0x297.0?
That does not explain why the selection of a different paper size or
orientation does not stick though.
