Dunno how 4.10 all works, but if you have libpaper pkg installed, the
system default papersize is stored in /etc/papersize.
You can get the value that'll be used with:
echo ${PAPERSIZE:-$(cat ${PAPERCONF:-/etc/papersize})}
It could be other things setting this value, so you might do:
find .config/ .local/ .kde/ -xdev -type f -exec grep -i -e paper -e a4
{} + 2>&1 | less
might be CUPS, so doing:
lpoptions | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -i -e letter -e a4 -e paper -e size
would tell you if any of those strings were configured in CUPS default
options for your printer. (i don't offhand happen to know if CUPS
supports such a setting and what its name would be, but it seems
likely). Actually, it looks like:
lpoptions -l | grep -i -e size
Since you specifically say PDF, i'm wondering if that's a CUPS thing.
You may have a CUPS "print to PDF" printer?
lpstat -a | grep -i pdf
Or this could be inside konqueror.
I know that when KDE when v 4.x the default Qt printing margins were
stuck and could not be defaulted, resulting in having to change them
every single time (guh!) but the defaults were like 0.17 or 0.35 or
something.
Good luck.
