Check what appears in /etc/papersize . For example here:
$ cat /etc/papersize
a4
If your output from "cat /etc/papersize" in a terminal doesn't look like
that, edit it so that it does :) For example, by running
gksudo gedit /etc/papersize
Or the quick way:
echo "a4" | sudo tee /etc/papersize
That last command will put the right content in the file, and print "a4" in
your terminal at the same time for confirmation ...
See " tee --help " ( and/or "man tee" of course )
