Hi,

I have Realised that  the foomatic  PPDs under

/usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic

All  have their defaults set to "Letter" size  paper.
  In Europe  we have A4- size paper in our  printers.
Should'nt the "Solaris Print Manager"  Give the option to
change tihs to  A4.
 Or should we have two sets  of foomatic  PPDs  with different
Default setup  -  A4 or Letter.

  Printmanger copies the PPDs   to  /etc/lp/ppd  and uncompresses them.
Is there a way to change the default Paper size in a PPD file

*DefaultPageSize: Letter
*DefaultPageRegion: Letter
*DefaultImageableArea: Letter
*DefaultPaperDimension: Letter

To A4   short of hand-editing the file  ????


    Regards  Lars

Take a look at:

Thank you very much ,  As Garrett  saya in his artice ,
The lpadmin option  " -o media=A4  "  is not documented
in the lpadmin manpage.

   Thanks again .
