to match my printer.

The printer is on the network (its shared by Samba). I am using
administrator mode.

I can go to 'control panel' then 'printers' then 'printing
preferences' in the context menu for the printer then 'layout'
'advanced' 'paper size' and change the default to A4, then click 'OK'
then 'Apply' then 'OK' (which returns me to the 'Printers' screen).
There are no messages.

If I return to the paper size dialogue the setting has returned to
'letter'

Any ideas? TIA

SOLVED - The default locale was (unknown to me) set incorrectly to US.
Setting locale to UK then recreating the printer solved the problem.
