Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: setting paper size

Hi again,
I use LO under Linux (Debian-Wheezy as well as Mint-Nadia). There you can specify
PDF/Postscript and other printing destinations under "Device" in the printing
dialog. PDF is the default. Unfortunately things like landscape printing don't
work properly then. Setting it to Postscript Level 2 works fine, however. In older
versions I knew how to change that default in some config-file, but don't know how
to do so under LO 4.0-rc2 in Linux.
Regards
H.S.
