Comment 27 for bug 41147

Do you mean "OK" as in
"papersize is now determined solely by Cups options for the printer, not by the user's
locale settings"?
If so, that is great!

Wrong default paper size for printing

Status in “openoffice.org” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
My locale is french canadian. In cups-manager, default papersize is set to
letter and it works for all applications I try (gedit, firefox, ...) except
openoffice.org2. When I open a new document in Writer,
Format>page>page>format is correctly is set to letter but
File>print>properties>paper is set to a4. So I have to change it each
time I want to print.

I try to edit /etc/papersize from a4 to letter, but it doesn't change
anything.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package
'openoffice'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
