Possible cups/hplip bug?

Hopefully someone can tell me definitively if this is a bug or not.

I've been having a lot of trouble getting my CD/DVD printing to work
properly in F12 after having it work perfectly in F11 on my HP
Photosmart C5580. I've re-tweaked the glabels template and can get it
pretty close but no matter what I do the printer always complains that
there is a media mismatch which I can choose to ignore and have it
print anyway.

I have three printer queues setup, one for regular printing, one for
CD/DVD printing, and one for photo printing. I have verified that the
settings for both tray and media type are properly selected in the
cups web interface in case there was a problem with
system-config-printing, which there does not appear to be. However,
when I look at my page log I see the following:

It appears that no matter which queue I use, it uses 8.5x11 regardless
of my print settings. As you can see from the log I also tried
printing a photo with the same problem (and same complaint from the
printer about media size).

Anyone have and ideas?

Thanks,
Richard
