Looks like it only works if you have an /etc/printcap file; something that does not exist when using cups.... try: echo paperlength 720000 >/etc/papersize for letter, or perhaps 841996 for A4. -JimC

I thought setting this paarmeter sorts it (SuSE7.X 8.0 has not arrived yet :-(

No, unfortunately it doesn't. SuSEconfig.groff is a bit broken in SuSE Linux 7.3. It's fixed in SuSE Linux 8.0. On SuSE Linux 7.3 just do: echo 'a4' > /etc/papersize Actually there is no difference whether you do that or not, it avoids the "can't open `/etc/papersize'" message. -- Mike Fabian http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
