Hi,

if you are with cups on Debian or similar configuration use

lpoptions your_printer -o media=A4

in a shell script

Hi :)
I find that tricky too actually.  Everyone in this country seems to have
their printers configured to print on US letter despite actually using A4. 
Then if someone sends them an A4 page to print onto the A4 it comes out as
2 pages with just a tiny bit of the page printed at the top of the next
sheet. 

On my own machines, well the company's machines, i go around and set them
to print on A4 but then if a new machine arrives i have no idea whether
it's trying to print to A4 or what.  Also what about new users logging in
at a machine they haven't used before?  Are they now on US Letter again or
not? 


It seems that with LibreOffice it always seems to know that A4 should be
being used.  None of this messing around.  Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

I haven't problem with the drivers.

I have about 20 printers configured.

Sincerely,

Jean

  Hello,

I search how  to :

- configure all the printers with A4 by defaulr
- configure all the printers with postcript level and not PDF

And somebody know why with CUPS, i need to reload the printers

"Fichier " -> "Paramètrage de l'imprimante"
( "FIle" -> Printer setting )

Thanks for your help.

I work on debian with CUPS on an other server.

LO : last version

Sincerely,

Jean


  Jean,

To manage your printers if the OS is having problems use localhost:631
get to the CUPS admin. Findig the correct driver can be tricking. For
example some Konica-Minolta printers have the correct driver listed
under Minolta.

I do not know why you have to reload the printers unless the wrong
driver is installed.
