Whenever I try to print for the first time in a new app or new user, nothing happens if I don't remember to go into the app's paper setup and select the proper paper. It seems this is because I own no A4 paper nor A4 paper trays, yet the system defaults to A4 paper.
In YaST2 printer, after waiting eternally for repo data I didn't ask for to download, I select printer options for my only printer, and driver options default paper in your printer is grayed out and set to A4. How do I change the global default to letter? What mysterious file is set to A4? How do I eradicate the possibility of using A4 paper? Is it even possible to acquire A4 paper in the USA?

Everybody knows that the master default paper size setting is in kde control panel, under Country/Region & Language, then under the 'Other' tab at the far right.
Did I write anything about KDE? What do Gnome users do? XFCE? LXDE? Other non-KDE? I opened YaST2, and expected to find there a way to set it if not globally at least for the current user, and was denied the opportunity ("grayed out").
Find it there and I bet your problems are solved...
It was already set to letter in KControl long before I started this thread. Printing was working fine until yesterday, and I have no idea what could have made it stop working, other than first print use of some app not previously used to print anything. -- "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
