Suse 10.0 strange printer problem

I have a laserjet 2300 connected to usb port. Printer is configured with Yast for letter sized media. Most programs print fine, however, with Inkscape and Krita, they default to A4 size (greyed out) so after the printer finishes printing, it starts demanding A4 size paper. Went into KDE print manager, selected the printer, it says latter. Print to PDF and Print to Postscript I also changed to letter, both as user and as administrator. Still same result. This is using CUPS as this is default install of Suse. Any suggestions on why or how to fix this? Really seems strange. Art
