In /opt/openoffice/share/psprint/psprint.conf PPD_PageSize=A4 change to: PPD_PageSize=Letter There's also: /opt/openoffice/user/psprint/psprint.conf But I don't use it. I also comment out: Printer=SGENPRT/Generic Printer changed to ;Printer=SGENPRT/Generic Printer So that my default printer works. There may be better/more official ways of doing this, but then I'd have read something to find out :-)
