If you tell me the NickName entry in your PPD in /etc/cups/ppd/ I can find the original PPD myself. Usually we have DefaultPageSize: A4 in the original PPDs (I find A4 in 5925 PPDs and something else only in 588 PPDs) and we have no PPD at all with DefaultPageSize: Letter so that cups-autoconfig changed it explicitely to Letter. -- 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.

I would suggest another solution, which should be done for 11.1: use locale environment variable "$LC_PAPER" This variable is typically set via /etc/sysconfig/language, a YaST variable, but user can overwrite. Currently YaST isn't setting / changing the variable. But YaST _is_ modifying the PPDs according to location of installation. So our solution contains of two steps: - modify CUPS code to honor LC_PAPER - modify YaST to set RC_LC_PAPER in /etc/sysconfig/language ==> YaST related: adding mzugec into CC: ==> changing Product to 11.1 -- 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.
