Check what appears in /etc/papersize . For example here: $ cat /etc/papersize a4 If your output from "cat /etc/papersize" in a terminal doesn't look like that, edit it so that it does :) For example, by running gksudo gedit /etc/papersize Or the quick way: echo "a4" | sudo tee /etc/papersize That last command will put the right content in the file, and print "a4" in your terminal at the same time for confirmation ... See " tee --help " ( and/or "man tee" of course ) Peter -- "INX Is Not X" Live CD based on Ubuntu 7.04 : http://inx.maincontent.net Screenshots slideshow: http://inx.maincontent.net/album/1.png.html
