It is from the list. What I did is the following (my /etc/papersize contains simply "a4"):
In system-config-printer I click the "New printer" button, then in the list of detected printers I choose "Print into PDF file". In the next two steps I leave the pre-selections "Generic" and "PDF file generator" and in the last step the suggested name "PDF_file_generator". After that I have a new print queue named "PDF_file_generator" with "Letter" as default paper size. Then I go into the web interface http://localhost:631/, choose "Administration", then "Add printer", as name I take "x", then I choose as device "PDF file generator" and stay with the default "Generic PDF file generator" as model/driver. The paper size default of my new print queue "x" is A4 now. During installation of Ubuntu I had once to choose the language (I chose english) and once the time zone (I chose Lisbon/Portugal). The output of "locale", once for me and once for root you can see below. ---------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/printing/foomatic/foomatic-filters-devel$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/printing/foomatic/foomatic-filters-devel$ sudo locale [sudo] password for till: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/printing/foomatic/foomatic-filters-devel$ ---------- -- Printer installation paper type does not follow locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
