           Summary: Print to file paper size setting reverts to A4 every
                    time
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.4
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: print-dialog
        AssignedTo: kde-print-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: amunkres at uoregon.edu


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

(Note: I'm actually using KDE 4.4.1 now, not 4.4.0, but Bugzilla didn't present
4.4.1 as a choice. I had the same problem in 4.4.0, also.)

I've set the system setting of "Regional & Language" -> "Country/Region &
Language" -> "Other" -> "Paper format" to "US Letter", my /etc/papersize file
contains the text "letter", and the program "paperconf" outputs the text
"letter". Despite all of this, though, when I open the "Print..." dialog in a
KDE program, choose "Print to File (PDF)" or "Print to File (Postscript)", and
open the "Properties" dialog, the "Page size" will be set to "A4". I can set it
to "Letter", then press OK, then press Print, and it will generate the output
with Letter page size; however, if I then open the "Print..." dialog again, the
page size will have reverted to A4.

(I'm not sure what happens when using a real printer.)

I'm using KDE 4.4.0 and Qt 4.6.2, on Linux.

Maybe this is related to bug 207376?
