Thanks for the link. I did: texconfig dvips paper letter texconfig pdftex paper letter texconfig dvipdfm paper letter texconfig pdftex paper letter Still insisting on printing on A4 paper. My printer is set to letter, I have no problem printing from openoffice or any other application. Alternative solution to acroread would be a command line: ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=letter document_name.ps it generate the output I need, like before. I but what I need is the application to work correctly; it as it did before. I don't know what else to do. Moving out of Canada would be a bit hard, maybe I start writing petition to change paper size in Canada and US to A4 :-/ -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
