Looks like the same applies to gimp, thunderbird, presumably others too - is there a way of setting this globally?
As far as I know all those applications use the Gnome printing dialog and then it should be possible to use a generic Gnome tool to make global settings for the Gnome printing dialog (perhaps system-config-printer might work to do this?).
Having to set the default papersize in every application individually does not seem very clever - did I pick something wrong at installation time?
The whole printing dialog stuff is currently not very clever, see the "There is no such thing as..." sections at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS and have a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640545#c3 in particular: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Of course a "Common Printing Dialog" for all applications could solve the mess but unfortunately its development is currently stuck, see http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/plan-comp... ----------------------------------------------------------------- To make print queue settings with the generic CUPS tool, use as normal user the "lpoptions" command, see the "Command-line Tools " section at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell and for details and some examples have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS In any case: Whatever user-specific print queue settings there are in a particular user's ~/.cups/lpoptions file, any printing dialog should show up with those settings by default. In other words: Any printing dialog should show up with the same user-specific default settings which are marked by a leading '*' in the lpoptions -p <queue_name> -l output.
