I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug 10910. This is an upstream issue and not an Ubuntu specific one. As you said, it's been broken upstream for about 10 years now. The person assigned last updated the bug about 3 years ago. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 10910 Default page size for printing is letter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627648 Title: firefox/thunderbird default to US Letter for papersize Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Often after upgrading or installing ubuntu (now running 10.04.1) I notice (after a while, since I don't print that often from browser/e-mail client) that the papersize is set to US Letter again. I'm not quite sure why this happen, because I live in the Netherlands, there's no US Letter here, ever (unless you get some special paper sent in ;-) Obviously in a longer running system, this is set in my system to A4 paper (systemsettings/locale/other/paper format). however, I found that in /etc/papersize it said "letter". So I guess there are more places to configure this. (I promptly changed that using "sudo paperconfig -p a4", so perhaps this problem is over now... Perhaps this bug needs to be moved to systemconfiguration/locale with a summary: "systemsettings papersize configuration doesn't cover all places where papersize is configured" or something...
