How do I change the default paper size for printing?

I am running Firefox 3.6.3. Recently, the default paper size for printing unexpectedly changed to a user-defined size of 3.00" x 4.57". It used to be letter size (8.5 x 11). The default paper size is 8.5 x 11 for everything else. I have tried changing the size in the preferences dialog box and then clicking "default", but after I close Firefox or if Firefox opens a new window, the default size switches back to 3.00" x 4.57". Does anyone know how to fix this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2 weeks ago

In "mine" dutch firefox 3.6.12 there is no option to change paper-size see
"about:config" Promise to be careful (and be!) Enter "print.postscript.paper_size" gives a empty screen
"paper_size" gives a few results
What about the numbers 4259872, 4784247 and what is the meaning of
paper_size, paper_size_type , paper_size_unit

    As soon as I posted, Ifigured this one out on my own by going into user settings and changing the default there. Then I was able to delete the default @mac account. Thanks!

  • How do I change the default paper size in Firefox if Printer Properties does nothing?

    I print on different including a receipt printer with roll paper.
    I had to reset Firefox yesterday because of a bug, and then changed the Printer Properties to be able to print again in the right format on the receipt paper. But now everything I print from Firefox (even when I change the paper size to Letter on the Printer properties for the regular printer) is in the receipt paper format (long and narrow.) When I do Print Preview, I can see that the paper looks like the roll paper, even if I'm trying to print on letter size.
    I tried resetting both printers with about:config, I tried changing in the printer properties for both printers and nothing works.
    Is there a way to change the default paper size in Firefox?

    Hello,
    My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

  • How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

    Hello All,
    I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
    I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

  • How do I change the default paper size from letter to A4 on an F2480 attached to a Windows 7 system?

    I have an F2480 attached to a Windows 7 machine.  I have used the Solution Center to check that I have the latest printer driver installed.  How do I get the software to understand that the paper loaded in the printer is A4 not letter, and always will be?  I found an earlier question about this on this board where DexterM suggested going in through Printing Preferences.  I have done that but it won't let me save A4 as the paper size for all future use.  Also in that conversation HPPooper suggests editing the Registry, but the keyword he references ("DsDriver") does not exist on my system.

    Hi bobellina,
    I did some testing and think I may have found a solution:
    1. Open Devices and Printers
    2. Right click the printer and select Printing Preferences
    3. Click on Features tab
    4. Click on Sizes and choose "More"
    5. Choose "Metric" or "English" at the top (depending on the size options you want available)
    6. Select the paper size you want as default, then click OK
    7. Click Apply, then OK on the remaining window
    8. Right click the printer again and select "Set as Default"
    This should make whatever paper size you select be "default" in whatever application you are printing from (unless the application has a default override). Paint and Notepad left the printer defaults, but Word 2010 overrode them.

  • How do I change the default paper size from "Letter" to "A4 "on an P1006 (Windows 7)

    I have just reformatted my computer (Window 7 Professional - 64 bits) computer and then re-installed my HP Laserjet P1006 (downloading the driver from HP website) Even though I have changed the settings EVERYWHERE to A4 format - including the measurements to show millimeters - and even though all settings indicate that the format has been changed correctly, printed documents still come out as if printed in Letter format.The only place in printer settings and preferences that I can find where it still says Letter is under in the "General" tab (right click the default printer > "Printer Properties") where it under the heading "Paper available" says "Letter".  And...I don't know where/how to change that setting. However on my second printer of the same model that I am using for another computer , the settings also show Letter in this place, and that computer can - despite that - still print in A4 format....so this may not be the problem. Can anyone PLEASE help !  

    Hi Gemini02 ! Thanks for trying to help, but that is not solving it.
     And actually, I found out how to resolve the problem already:
     1) Open up aq Word Doc + go to...  FILE > Options > Advance > Print
     2)  UN-tick the following item:   "Scale content for A4 or 8,5 x 11" paper sizes" + OK
     I know it doesn't make sense, but it works.

  • How do I set the default page size for printing on a 8450.

    A few days ago I printed some envelopes and now when I print from some programs, the print page size has remained the envelope size.  I want to print from any program on letter size paper without changing the settings every time.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    This document can help you set the print settings for any type of printing. Not just for photos as the title suggests. You should not have to keep setting it every time.

  • Can I change the default paper type for a printer?

    I have a client that prints off a lot of paperwork from an insurance company. They have barcodes that go pretty much to the end of the page that are nessesary for fileing. The default print setup cuts off the barcode and a few code numbers.
    If I manually change the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 8.5x11 borderless, it works! However I can't seem to get that setting to stick using profiles or the System Preferences.
    The profiles change everything but the paper size. And the System Preferences have the top level sizes (8.1x11) but not the more specific borderless versions of it.
    Any ideas?

    Taking Firefox (or even iTunes) as example, click File>Page Setup. In the resulting window, select the paper size setting and then in Settings, choose Save as Default. In Safari it's a bit different, but there too you get an option to "save current settings as preset", whereby you can name that setting, save it and select it, to be used the next time you print.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.

    Ravi

  • How do I change the default storage file for PDFs?

    I want to save PDFs. Now the default files are in AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N. I have to drill UP through all those to get to where I want to save the item in PDF Files. How can I change the default?

    The file path (AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary Internet Files/Content IE5/V6ZGH08N) that you posted is the internet cache of the MS Internet Explorer and not a location that Firefox uses although MS plugins like the Windows Media Player will use that location.
    Files that are opened in an external program will be saved to the temp folder as specified in the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables.
    What makes you think that Firefox is saving PDF file in that folder?
    Are you using an extension like IE Tab or IE View to open specific locations with IE?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Can I change the default page size for SYSBUILD?

    When I start SYSBUILD it always has a default page size of Letter set, is there any way to change this as most of the blocks I wish to print are to be printed on A3 paper?
    Many thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Unfortunately there is no option to change the default print settings for SystemBuild. You must manually select the A3 paper size under File>>Page Setup.
    Thanks for the suggestion though, I will pass that on to R&D as a product suggestion for a future release.
