  • Default Property Size printer Kde

    From MERLIN Philippe@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 8 12:20:01 2024
    Hello, first of all my PC has an up-to-date Debian Sid Kde Linux system.
    I am facing a printer default property issue. For a printer for Kde applications Okular, Kontact (Kmail) the default page size is "letter" instead of "A4" which is the default size at the Cup level, "Kde Configuration" this problem does not exist with non-Kde applications: Firefox, Libre Office Writer, etc.
    I don't know how to correct this problem which is quite annoying because sometimes I am forced to start printing again by manualy correcting the print size.

    In ``/etc/papersize`` you can set your preference.
    Mine has `A4` as value.

    Thank you for the answer but in /etc/papersize i have also A4.
    As I wrote the problem only concerns KDE Okular, Kontact (Kmail) applications. Philippe Merlin

    In KDE's regional settings there is a papersieze setting, so maybe
    there ?

    Unfortunately I verify and in KDE's regional setting French papersize is A4. Thank you.
