My Epson printer will try to print on a European size instead of letter with source material that does not explicitly specify to use letter (8.5 x 11 inches).  The LaserJet is OK with the US size. Where and how should I change the default size for the Epson printer, please?

--doug

YaST/Printer, select printer, hit Edit, on page displayed there is a switch for "default paper size", or it may be under the "all options for the current driver" button.

--dg Yes, I'm aware of that, but it seems that it either doesn't work, or it works for one print job and then reverts. I don't know what to do next. I wonder if the paper size is hard coded into the ppd file? (I had a lot of trouble getting this printer installed, and while I was just printing single pages on one side, all was fine. Then I ran into the paper size problem. The printer will stop and complain, and not continue if it senses letter paper.) The previous correspondence from me indicated that I thought the problem was solved, but it ain't! --doug

http://localhost:631/ --> printers --> select yours. --> administration --> set default options --> query printer for default options Page size here shows under "General". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Hi Does the printer have a LCD and menu system? If so set the default paper size in here... That will at least confirm if it's a printer driver issue.

No, the issue is (apparently) that the printer default is Letter and contains Letter sized paper - as normal in North America - but CUPS is configured to default to A4. Maybe the locale is set wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
