I have tried the following two command lines LC_PAPER="en_IE.utf8" system-config-printer LC_ALL="en_IE.utf8" system-config-printer
and created a new printer each time. In both cases A4 should be selected by default, but I got A4 only for the latter case. I think having two methods to determine the default paper size is confusing. We should better do away with libpaper in Hardy completely and make sure that all programs needing a default paper size using the locale settings (preferably LC_PAPER and fall back to LC_ALL if LC_PAPER is undefined). In addition, there should be a GUI tool added where the locale settings can be easily changed, so that if a user goes to another country temporarily with his laptop that he can quickly adapt settings to that country. -- 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
