Printer installation paper
When you install a printer in Ubuntu. The paper type remains A4.
This problem is solved in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), the Ubuntu Desktop CD
installer ubiquity now sets /etc/papersize to match the selected locale
instead of defaulting to A4 (see bug #104160).
Paul Flint, which version of Ubuntu are
Pascal,
Thanks for the tip about Gutsy...

Till and Tim,
The reason why there are 2 methods to retrieve the default papersize is
historical.
The LC_PAPER environment variable was not part of the original POSIX standard.
To tackle the default papersize problem the Debian operation system gave birth
to libpaper (/etc/papersize), most

Pascal, thanks for your excellent analysis of this issue. This bug is
hereby squashed!!! The record will help anyone else who is running LTS in
the future.
The best part of this
Till: well, have you tried setting your system locale to something where
A4 is actually used?
The primary method for setting paper sizes is always going to be the
locale. glibc provides support for LC_PAPER; CUPS keys off the locale
string -- there really is no need for an extra (conflicting)
It's strange and i confirm this bug.
For informations i had Bug #128258 (closed now)
In this bug when /etc/papersize (a4 for me) is not present, adding new printer
resulting in using letter paper size.
Now it's not the case, and all printers, with /etc/papersize set to a4 or
letter or file
I have tried the following two command lines
LC_PAPER=en_IE.utf8 system-config-printer
LC_ALL=en_IE.utf8 system-config-printer
and created a new printer each time. In both cases A4 should be selected
by default, but I got A4 only for the latter case.
I think having two methods to determine the
We could also let libpaper take its default from the locale, so that if
/etc/papersize does not exist or contains auto or locale that then
the paper size is taken from the locale.

Till: system-config-printer is constrained to use the same mechanism
that cupsd does, and that is to key off LC_MESSAGES when it exists (see
cups/language.c, scheduler/conf.c). If cupsd started taking notice of
LC_PAPER, so much the better -- and I would change system-config-printer
to match.

Then cupsd is also not correct, for something there must be LC_PAPER.
CUPS is supporting libpaper natively, at least if libpaper-dev is
installed when CUPS is compiled. Perhaps one should explicitly cancel
the libpaper support via a ./configure option (How is it done by Red
Hat?).
In general, we
Dear Till,
I am very impressed at your scholarship in this matter, and agree with
your assessment of the paper-type bug right up to the following statement:

Paul, did you remove the program from the public again? Your link is
dead.
In general your program will not affect settings for default paper
sizes, because:
1. Your program only switches interface languages, not locales (info abou the
country where the user is located)
2. Your program only

Yes, I agree. (In practice this usually makes no difference, but it
would be good to get it fixed.)

For me system-config-printer does not respect /etc/papersize. On my
system it is set to a4 and system-config-printer sets Letter as
default paper size.
Tim, can you add /etc/papersize (libpaper) support to system-config-
printer?

Greetings Exterminators,
I have unilaterally changed the content of papersize to letter. This
will no doubt have cascading effects which eventually shut down the
Internet and then life as we know it on this planet.
I want to observe if this manual intervention fixes this problem...
