This bug also causes me problems with machines I support. The default
should *always* be the system-wide settings that Ubuntu honour, and at
the very least it should not reset during an 'upgrade'. This 'reset to
US paper size' arrogance is a major irritation and causes problems for
users who print and get nothing but an error message telling them to
change paper size while blocking the network printers job queue until
somebody clears it.
