Bug#253071: openoffice.org: A4 papersize refuses to be set
I don't like to try those things, since it is always some work for me...
Walk over to the server, reset the printer, restart the server...
Anyways, it didn't help at all. I checked my CUPS printer queue and it is
set to a4 anyways. If I start Openoffice Your way and try to print it
doesn't change anything. Openoffice is broken and has been broken for
some time now. Please fix it. My users demand that I either fix this or
change the default word processor.
Thx,
Malte
