Hi
I know the problem.
There are two ways of seting up the openoffice configuration.
It is a little bit strange, so let me explain.
On the one hand open office has its own configuration file
/etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
There is this line as a standard: "PPD_PageSize=Letter"
Change it to: "PPD_PageSize=A4"
Well the second point is that there is also a cups setting.
Look in /etc/cups/pdftops.conf
There is this line as a standard: "#psPaperSize letter"
I think normally it is not activated but if you activate it
("well use psPaperSize A4")
it will also be important for OpenOffice.
I don't remember which one comes first (strange, because openoffice checks the
first time the one conffile and the second time the other conffile, there is a
bug report against this in Debian).
Does this help you?
It is a little bit difficult to set it up during an installation.
Well the configuration is not difficult, but it is a hack to make it in the
packages.
Please give a small feedback, I am sure that I can help you.
Greetings
Steffen
