This changes only the paper size for the printing system but usually not for the applications because usually the applications don't ask the printing system what the actual paper size (and the actual imageable area) is. > Jeffrey Ratcliffe wrote: > > All print jobs default to Letter size paper.

Does the printer request you to insert Letter paper? Does the application produce documents for Letter paper? And what exactly do you mean with "make A4 default"? Make A4 default for the printer or for the applications? /etc/papersize is meaningless for the printing system and for alomost all applications (except e.g. groff) because it is is a Debian extension to groff to make it work for Japanese. As soon as the upstream groff has decent support for UTF-8 and Japanese, /etc/papersize will not be needed anymore and may disappear. For some general info about paper size / imageable area problems see for example: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148707#c1 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324635#c6 and for some general background info see for example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334485#c7 Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
