Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing problems - US Letter / A4

So Peter

If the French person went into that "/etc/papersize" file and made sure 
it was listed as A4, then all of the printer drivers in her Debian [or 
Debian-based] system will automatically default to A4? Will LO then 
default to A4 for the default paper sizes of the printer and document?

Also, have you found any place where you pick up using Postscript 
instead of PDF for the default printer language used for all the 
printers connected to that system?

Like I stated before, I have only 3 active network printers, and one 
that is almost never used, attached to my network and about a half-dozen 
Ubuntu/Windows systems to setup to the Postscript printer language over 
PDF.  So I have it easy.  The OP has about 20 printers and who-knows the 
number of systems attached to the network.  There has to be an easier 
way than what I do to make sure the printers use Postscript.
