Not webkit. Probably gtk. I stumbled across a message I posted to gnucash-user in 2007 (yep, seventeen+ years ago) about gtkprint’s default to a4 paper. There is more than one way to declare a paper size to various unix systems ( /etc/papersize and lpoptions being 2), and not all unix versions handle all methods. I use mostly macs, and back then adding export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 to my .profile file worked for me. It has been a long time since I knew much about the workings of the settings dungeons in unix. That setting is still in my profile, but I have no idea if it is really doing anything anymore. I print about 10 checks and 1 report per year. I don’t remember any problems, but who knows if I did some odd settings work to get the check format to print properly...
