samba - Oct 2001 - Page size won't stay on A4 :(

Hi All,

I'm running a Samba 2.2.1 PDC on Linux (2.2.19 kernel), I've pretty much
got it behaving, the two exceptions being it never distributes it list of
machines in the domain(as master browser) - I can live with this (for now)
but...  I've got a Printer shared to the workstations, I can see the
printer, print to the printer, but I can't get the paper size for the
printer to stay on A4.  I logon as the domain administrator, set the printer  to
A4 paper, set the default resolution etc and everything seems fine.  However
when I add the printer to one of my workstations it picks up the original
printer defaults of Letter size paper etc.

Any ideas??

cheers

Jamie...

I have an idea.
If you are using enscript, the default size may be letter. You have to
check  enscript.cfg (and $HOME/.enscriptrc) to see what the default page
size is.
IF you are not using enscript, some other program likely has a similar
configuration file lying around somewhere.
