Quite a lot of improvement has been done on the Qt print dialog in the last time, so I just retested with Qt's current development version. The problem is fixed there, I can no longer reproduce the issue with it. Since most of the improvements already made it into Qt 5.11, the problem will probab

As my next attempt to resolve this I deleted ~/.cache, ~/.kde4 and /.config. I logged in as the user and checked the default paper for the printers and it remains A4. I believe I have now covered all the suggestions offered so far. What can I try next? Thanks On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 10:47 AM, Ste

Re: KDE apps not using system printer settings

2018-03-27 Thread Michael Weghorn
KDE applications use the Qt print dialog and this one is also responsible for selecting the correct default paper size, which in my experience works well. Two things that might help to narrow down the problem: 1) Do Non-KDE-Applications (e.g. Firefox or LibreOffice) preselect the correct paper si

KDE apps not using system printer settings

Starting several months ago, all KDE apps (e.g., Kate) no longer use the system printer settings. For example, in "Kickoff -> Computer -> System Settings -> Printer Configuration" I have US letter paper size set. However, Kate and other KDE apps all default to A4 paper size. I can't find a way to c
