If you’re like me, sitting here in the States on my Ubuntu box, you will quickly grow sick of printers defaulting to A4 paper size.
Here’s a quick way to change that, using nothing more than a terminal session, your keyboard and this howto.
First, let’s get to the terminal session. Applications-> Accessories-> Terminal
Now that you’ve got that open type the following:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1
You should see this screen pop up:
Use your arrow keys to highlight ‘letter’ and hit enter. Give it a minute to think and you should be all set.
