Perhaps /var/log/YaST2/* might help if you don't remember.
From my non-expert point of view the root cause of the issue described in comment #6 might be neither in a2ps nor in any other piece of software which belongs to the Bugzilla component "Printing" ;-)
But the issue described in comment #6 seems to be the root cause of unexpected locale-dependant settings in whatever applications (e.g. an unexpected paper size setting) so that you might file a new separated bug report regarding this issue. On the other hand unexpected locale settings in case of inconsistent language, keyboard, and timezone selections are known "since ever" so that it might be impossible to determine THE right locale (i.e. the locale which matches to the user's expectations) in case of inconsistent language, keyboard, and timezone selections. How should an automatism know if you are an US English user located in Berlin or a German user located in New York, which paper size you like to use to format your documents in your applications? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
