web-browser printing - paper size
« Thread Started on Nov 18, 2011, 7:45am »

Hello,

I installed and configured my printer`s default page size to be A4. Despite this iceweasel`s printing dialog offers only Letter format and this option is inactive and cannot be changed. How can I change this? Chromium offers A4 format but this option is also inactive in the printing dialog. Why?

Try changing "Page Setup" in the Menu.

I thought that worked but every time I restart the browser, the paper size is again set to Letter instead of A4

and I have to change it manually again.

I have tried this, going to Page setup, changing to A4 and clicking Apply, then quitting Iceweasel. restarting it and checking Page setup, see results attached. Do not understand problem you are having.

I have set the browser to restore its session, maybe this is the reason?

Could be.
Let us know if it behaves as expected now.
