I have a Samsung C410 printer attached to a Stretch server via USB and

setting for paper size but the cups listing for the printer shows:
Defaults:job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in
sides=one-sided
which is correct. However when I try to print a PDF using Okular, the
paper size is set to A4. If I forget to change it to letter, the print
gets chopped off at the top.
Any ideas on what is causing this and how do I correct it?
Thanks.
I have had similar problems with various programs, especially Master PDF
Editor 4, but not exclusively. I think there may be some kind of fault
in cups that keeps changing the specified
page size to A4, regardless of what you have set it to. Running PCLOS
KDE5, and this problem did not exist in KDE4, but I have no idea where
the fault actually lies. I hope someone figures
it out and comes up with a cure. The latest updates seem to allow one to
correct the page size on a job by job basis--i.e., open the printer
properties for each item you want to print and
set it to Letter (8½ x 11) and it will usually stay for that instance.
PITA! One of my two printers seems to work better in that area--go figure!
