bboett,
Are you using CUPS? I take it that you are by your message that you tried to
change the default CUPS setting in OO. If so, try setting A4 as your default
page size. Although I have never needed to change my default paper size
(since, of course, I am an American and anything non-letter size helps fund
terrorism), it seems like a logical step.
Please let me know via the user list the results.
Regards,
Steve Siebert
