How to set paper size when printing with okular

[Lester M Petrie]

If I'm reading a pdf in okular that is formatted on letter size pages,
and I wish to print a page, I click on File, then Print to bring up a
print popup. I select the printer I want, check that its properties are
set to Letter size paper, and submit the print job. But when it gets to
the printer, it is set to print on A4 paper. I can't find where I can
override this. Can anyone tell me how to get okular to print on Letter
size paper?

Everything is O.K. until it gets to the printer. So it must be in your
printer settings. Open up cups (http://localhost:631/ - may be https:) or
your system's printer config, and set it there.

If that doesn't work, try exporting it to a PostScript file, then
typing "cat file.ps | lpr".

I usually have the opposite problem - all the printing programs come from
one of the only two countries in the world who haven't adopted the ISO sizes.

HTH,
