If it's any consolation, I get the reverse in Firefox - it never remembers that printing uses A4 paper here. -- Rgds Peter -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I couldn't find one. It does have file -> print setup and that says A4, which I always change to US letter, but it doesn't "stick". thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I am only quoting from the man pages here, papercof -d should run the default paper size which from what you're saying above is set to letter? Has evince got it's own application level configuration for paper size under printer settings, or something like that? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[gentoo-user] evince and letter size paper
emerging libpaper says elog "run \"paperconfig -p letter\" as root to use letter-pagesizes" elog "or paperconf with normal user privileges." I did the first and when I run paperconf it says letter as does cat /etc/papersize Nonetheless, whenever evince starts up it defaults to A4 paper. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
