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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
