That's what libpaper does: use whatever paper size is in the PAPER env
var, or if empty whatever name found in the file whose name is in the
PAPERSIZE env var, or if this var is empty too look in /etc/papersize,
defaulting to letter (sigh
I haven't been following the discussion (sorry!). Please present me with
a proposal, and counter-proposals if necessary.
Thanks

Never mind. Wrong message.

Well, it could be argued that Yvess libppaper could look at
the current $PRINTER setting, and select the correct papersize
depending on the /etc/papersize.printer file
Storing one thing in one place is an excellent goal.
Treating multiple things as tho they were one thing (EG all printers
use the same paper) can be troublesome.
Ideal: keep the option of an /etc/papersize, but allow a user to
override /etc/papersize if desired, thru ~/papersize or environment

at the moment
Shouldn't the paper size be an attribute of a print queue, and not an
attribute of a machine?

Please do not use 0.* versions anymore.
The next release (1.0-1) will have a paperconfig paper configuration
script instead of having /etc/papersize as a conffile.

Paper size effect more that just printers. Previewers and tex tools
come to mind, there may be others...
All I know is right now I've got to tweak quite a few things on a
standard debian 1.1 system so
Please do not use 0.* versions anymore.
