[Bug 424314] New: firefox default paper format is Letter instead of A4 in German install
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424314 Summary: firefox default paper format is Letter instead of A4 in German install Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: matthias.andree@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- MozillaFirefox-3.0.1-0.1's paper format defaults to US Letter for newly discovered printers, even in German-language openSUSE 11 installs for Germany. The proper default is A4 (and it's configured in CUPS), unless the user explicitly states he's situated in the USA (I'm not sure about Canada). It's just annoying to tell every other application that A4 is just not it. -- 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.

Upstream always has had the issue. Unfortunately printing has changed a lot with FF3 and basically it didn't get really better (just incorporating Gnome print dialog makes that issue not go away :-() With FF2 we checked for every printer what the default paper size is and used that if not changed. With FF3 the printer selection and paper size setting is somewhat decoupled that from a UI perspective the above approach can't be taken easily perhaps. Fixing/improving that is a bit of work but I'll try to get some steps done towards that. -- 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.

Somehow I have the setting back at letter randomly although I have selected A4 already several times. -- 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.
