This is the best setup possible, given the available resources :( I tried on a similar setup, where the cups server is on a much faster machine and indeed it doesn't do the same, but I was able to override cups with libpaper, which does not work on the setup with the slow cups.

I only used spadmin to try to change the default, is this what you mean by "used spadmin"? If it matters, I can reproduce it. I just changed back and forth between "A4" and "Letter" just by modifying the .PS file. Any more infos that I can provide? Regards, Andrei P.S. I just tested a QT app, and I also get A4. I think this excludes any cups configuration issue, if you still think it might be the reason. -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
