OpenOffice.org tries to print to Letter instead of A4



Hello everybody,

I am stuck with this, hopefully someone else knows what's going on.

system: Debian testing (squeeze)
locale: ro_RO.UTF-8
openoffice.org: 1:3.2.1-3 (most recent in testing)
cups (local): 1.4.3-1 (most recent in testing)
cups (remote): 1.3.8-1+lenny8 (lenny-proposed-updates)
printer: HP LaserJet III Plus shared via cups from a local stable 
machine
symptoms: whenever someone tries to print from an OpenOffice.org 
application the paper size in
File -> Printer Configuration... Properties
is set to "US Letter". As a result the print will be stuck, it is set to 
A4 (and there is not Letter paper available). Setting the paper size 
manually to A4 works, but is not preserved if OpenOffice.org is closed.

Any other application I tried (abiword, gnumeric, evince, ...) correctly 
defaults to A4.

The printer defaults to A4, local and remote /etc/papersize is set to 
a4. The default paper size for new documents is A4 (as per Tools-> 
Options -> Language Settings -> Language: Romanian, set via the locale) 
and this is correctly reflected by Format -> Page which correctly shows 
A4. I even set:

PPD_PageSize=A4

in /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf

but OpenOffice.org still defaults to "US Letter" for the printer 
settings. Where is this setting coming from?

Regards,
Andrei
