2.I installed an HP printer via the Printers dialogue and I cannot find
any way to set paper sizes to A4.
The weird thing is in the US, I constantly run into printers all
defaulting to A4 when I want US-Letter. I think there must be a
test backward somewhere in the paper handling code :-).
Anyway, I did finally decrypt the paper size default secret:
yum install libpaper
echo Letter > /etc/papersize
That gets libreoffice (at least) to default to Letter when
creating a new document. Presumably you could swap in A4
instead of Letter.
Will that necessarily work?
It seems to me that you could have a situation in which libreoffice
believes in A4, but the printer still believes in Letter.
When I had application/printer mismatch problems,
it was usually because the application
believed in A4 and the printer in Letter.
In such cases, the authour had usually added extra u's to the documentation.
