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.
