407406 - Firefox/Seamonkey defaults to letter even when /etc/papersize defaults to "a4"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 147419

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Build Identifier: 

Seems that Firefox/Seamonkey printing dialog doesn't take care of /etc/papersize setting and always defaults to letter instead of "a4" (/etc/papersize is provided by libpaper)

Thanks a lot for fixing this

Mandriva's 2008.1 firefox 2.0.0.13 doesn't has this bug though and I don't remember having it on other distributions using firefox 2.x.

Comment 4

[Pacho Ramos]

It is still valid with 2.0.0.14, hopefully fixed in firefox3 because of gnome-printing usage

(Mandriva applies a lot of patches to their firefox, maybe one of them fixes this)

Comment 5

[Fernand Pajot]

No it's not fixed in Firefox 3, that's why I reported the bug ;). See the duplicate.

I have exactly the same problem on Firefox3.
Opera and Konqueror browser can print in A4 with no problem.
This is a Firefox 3 bug.
Please to resolve it quickly.
Thank you.

I confirm this bug, its being happening since a while and its always get marked as dupe and resolved. But its never resolved, neither on Firefox 3.

Once you close firefox and open it again, default paper size is, again, us letter :(

People jams shared printers (waiting for confirmation) because of the paper size, and the more users trying to print to a networked printer, the more annoying it gets ;)
