[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
Elias, in you comment #175 you didn't wrote which version of Firefox you had when you run it for the first time. Also, have you noticed that if you make a change in Regional Formats in System Settings > Language > Language Support > Regional Formats the change takes effect the next time you log in (see my comment #172). Then check what you get when you run the locale command in the terminal window. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
I tested my hypothesis above. I made a Live USB stick with space to save settings and updates. I used ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso. After changing languge settings to finnish and installing all localization files I opened Firefox for the first time. Paper size in firefox was letter, not A4 as it is supposed to be. Then I changed the variable print.postscript.paper_size to iso_a4 in Firefox config, closed and reopened Firefox and checked if the paper size change persisted. It did, also it was still A4. After that I did sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade. After that and restarting Firefox the paper size was still A4. I think this proves my guess was wrong. There is something else that changes the paper size _back_ to letter size from A4 because this happens to me quite often. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug still exists in Thunderbird (not sure about Firefox). Every time Thunderbird is updated the paper size is changed to letter even if the user uses locale for which the right size is A4. Check out this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=889088=12423297#post12423297 Could it be the case that when Thunderbird update is installed, update process does not check at all what is 1) in the locale or 2) what value Thunderbird config variable print.postscript.paper_size has?

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
I've tested Firefox 41 on Ubuntu 15.04 and I'd say that the issue has been fixed. Here is the test procedure: (1) Check your Regional Formats in System Settings > Language > Language Support > Regional Formats. Let's say this option is set to "English (United Kingdom)" (if you change it, the change takes effect the next time you log in). That option will change the environment variables for various locale categories including LC_PAPER. (2) Start Firefox with default user settings. You can do it by running "firefox -P" and creating a new user profile. (3) Try to print (Ctrl+P). On the Page Setup tab you get "Paper size: A4". I get this result even without step (2). If the Regional Formats are set to "English (United States)" then you get "Paper Size: US Letter". You can also test this without changing Regional Formats: in the Terminal Window run the following commands and check the paper size as in step (3) above: LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 firefox LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 firefox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
I like everything else about firefox except for this one infuriating bug. This bug was first filed in 2004. It's now 2013. I've just upgraded to Firefox 24.0 on Debian and my default paper size has, once again as it does every upgrade, reverted to the US_Letter papersize. I live in the other 96% of the world that uses A4 paper, so every time I try to print from Firefox I get an error message on my printer. OpenOffice and Libreoffice get the paper size right. GIMP gets the paper size right. Inkscape gets the papersize right. Abiword gets the paper size right. Gedit gets the paper size right. Tuxpaint gets the papersize right. EVERY OTHER program I use under any distro of Linux manages to correctly determine that I use A4 paper and doesn't give me any problems. But not Firefox. Firefox defaults to US_Letter. Even though my printer is set for A4. Even though my language is en_NZ. Even when I've manually changed ALL of the defaults back to A4 under about:config it still bloody-mindedly sets everything back to US-Letter every singe time there's some minor point- update of Firefox. Firefox is the ONLY program that does this. And it's been doing it far too long.

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
So continuing my previous rant; I have just followed the procedure of 1) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for Linux 2) Download Firefox-24.0 English(UK) version for Linux again and compare just to be sure I didn't accidentally get the wrong one 3) Check environment and observe LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 4) Check printer settings and see that default paper size is A4 5) rm -rf ~/.mozilla so there are no previous settings. 6) As root, rm -rf /opt/firefox and extract the one I just downloaded 7) as normal user again, run firefox and get the usual first-run page 8) about:config and search for paper_size Observe that paper size is letter. There is nothing on my computer that suggests it should be using letter, and as mentioned earlier no other program that I ever print from has EVER decided that the paper size should be letter.

Just to add to this bug discussion my observation in bug #627648 that the about:support setting for user-modified parameters do not appear to change in any when you alter the global paper size, which may be related to why this is continually reset on version 'upgrades'.

Add the prefs lines from #143 to the file /etc/firefox/syspref.js instead of seperate files. I tested this on a Ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 13 and it works as defaults for user-settings that you create after that change. It does not override user-settings that exists already! In this case you can change these settings with #147. In #143 i am referring to thunderbird. I hope this is not confusing, but this works equivalently for firefox if you user /etc/firefox/pref instead of /etc/thunderbird/pref. In theory you could also use /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref for the settings but anything you change here will be gone with the next firefox update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You can also lock down these settings, then these settings override user-settings.

Hi, I have the same bug in Firefox 7.0.1 on a french installation of Kubuntu 11.10. The standard paper format in France is A4. I always use the last stable version of Firefox distributed by Canonical. I print each month a PDF receipt of the payment of my rent (I pay at the end of the month). I never cared about setting the paper format. So it is interesting to see what happened in the last years, the format of my receipts has been continuously changing over the time: August 2008 to February 2009: A4 (intrepid) March 2009 to March 2011: US letter (jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick) April 2011 to August 2011: A4 (natty) August 2011 to now: US letter (natty, oneiric) The change from US letter to A4 end of April 2011 can be related with the update to Firefox 4.0. The last change back to US letter can be related with the update to Firefox 7.0. The workaround proposed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/10910/comments/109 worked for me.

I found that by sym-linking /etc/paper to /etc/papersize firefox will then use the correct A4 size when printing. Is the firefox binary configured to look at the wrong file to determine the default paper size? Can't this be fixed once and for all in the firefox source so it instead references /etc/papersize or have the sym-link automatically created. As for someone that doesn't want these US settings, having to manually apply these fixes for the quirks is quite irritating not to mention the time wasted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 Title: Default page size for printing is letter -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem could be deeper than forgetting the settings. This may be a clue. Even when the setting is changed to A4, it prints on A4 paper, but the format is still letter. (Is this another bug, or part of this bug?) Look closely and you will see that Firefox doesn't print to the bottom of A4 paper. It looks like it simply prints letter layout on A4 paper. Is it possible that some coder years ago thought the whole world was letter and hard-coded it deep in a line somewhere, such that all subsequent attempts to do otherwise are defeated?

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
the problem (as I experience it, years from its first report), is that I set Paper size in Firefox Page Settings and this setting is lost every time Firefox is updated (as far as I can tell). I think it should retain the settings made by the user after each update. Those are the settings the user has made. That is what the user wants. How hard can that be? The suggestions about setting it based on the locale are poor ones, because the printer page size might not be determined by locale. (For instance, it is not unusual these days in large companies in the United States to have A4 printers set up.) An upgrade and especially a plain update should not change user settings, unless those conflict in some deep way with something in the upgrade or update, and I'd take some convincing that could ever be the case here. -- Default page size for printing is letter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@John Vivirito: I added Ubufox at comment #28 asking for comment on the suggestion that perhaps this could be fixed in Ubufox, as initially outlined in my comment #27. I haven't received any reply, so I'm asking again. Thanks for noticing, though. I'll be the first to admit that fiixing it in Ubufox smacks of a workaround, but then upstream has a much more varied collection of deployment scenarios to cater to, whereas Ubuntu 9.04 and up is a reasonably well-defined and standard platform to code against; and so the fix could be a lot simpler than what upstream will ultimately need to come up with. In particular, you can handle just the Linux subset of possible scenarios, and count on basic locale support etc to be properly set up. My somewhat brittle proposal would be for the postinst script to hack the default value in the .js file based on information in /etc/papersize; (I wish I would not be saying this, but) with security upgrades coming down the pipe with some reliability, this script would realistically run every couple of months, at least.

[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
What kind of support nonsense is this? The problem is that firefox again defaults to US Letter, which is exactly what this bug is about, the upstream wasn't fixed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147419 so why file new bugs for old stories?

Changed status to fix released-confirmed, because Matthias Andree reports it's still broken in Hardy. If you can test that it's fixed in Hardy, please change back. This is a serious bug: not only that it prevents printing, but in many cases it jams the printer and requires someone to physically go to the printer or log in with administrative priviledges. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Default page size for printing is letter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm paper size setting are remembered in 2.0.0.6/gutsy provided you do actually print a document.

Actually I found the same problem. However I tried the about:config, print.*.print_paper_size change to 3276858 but it didn't seem to work for me. What I did change that worked was changing the value of print.*.print_paper_data from 1 to 9. -- Default page size for printing is letter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 10910] Re: Default page size for printing is letter
This seems to affect Firefox on Windows Vista also. A fix seems to be to manually edit the about:config, which for me required changing the print.*.print_paper_size value from 3539049 to 3276858. -- Default page size for printing is letter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/10910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
