Description Orion Poplawski 2014-10-06 22:47:20 UTC
dvips ships with a config.ps that puts a4 first, making in the default paper size.  As a result, the ps output from okular's call to dvips is a ps file that uses A4 paper, regardless of the paper size selected in the print dialog.  Perhaps specifying the -tnopaper option would be better, although it seems like we may loose proper margins with that.  May have to pass the proper -t paper size option.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open dvi file
2. print with letter paper
3. see printer complain about A4 paper
