https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640408 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640408#c0 Summary: a2ps assumes letter size paper in germany Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: jsmeix@novell.com ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I use a2ps to print ascii text on my HP Photosmart C5280. The frame is too wide and too short to fit nicely on A4 Paper. right edge is 1mm from the paper edge, bottom edge is 32mm from the paper edge. I figure this would fit nicley on Letter format. With 11.2 it was possible to use kprinter once with A4 format, from then on, a2ps would also know that we live in A4 world. kprinter no longer exists on 11.3 -- 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.

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.
