    |- Hello!
    |- 
    |- trying to get rid of this annoying US-Letter problem... if i could
purge
    |- the whole system of any occurence of that paper type i would....
    |- 
    |- this is getting very annoying...
    |- 
    |- there's no way to get openoffice to print on A4 paper....
    |- 
    |- i went through messages on the net, tryed first
    |- SAL_DISABLE_CUPS=1 openoffice
    |- openoffice still wants to use letter....
    |- 
    |- modifyed /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
    |- now starting openoffice the printer settings starts with A4, but no
luck
    |- what so ever... as soon as i try to print, it reverts back to
letter....
    |- 
    |- 
    |- is there any solution in sight???
    |- 
    |- should i file a bug report for this??

I am not certain that this is a good workaround but one that I use. Creating a
template with all the attributes I require, A4 paper in the main, and then
through the templates dialogue make this the default.

Then that is what will be used throughout.

I have not made the explanation more detailed assuming that you know of what i
speak, if not i will go into more detail.

Charlie.
