Maybe it is in letter format now, and the printer just prints what fits on A4? Or the defaults work (as I suppose your system to be set to A4 anyway) with or without dvips knowing the stuff should fit on A4? > Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and > tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option "-t a4" > within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, > too?) You could try what happens when you change Format>Document>Papersize setting from A4 to default. In Edit>Settings there are two more places to experiment with: Output.Printer (with dvips options -T for papersize and -t for papertype) Output.Latex (with Standard-Papersize) Günter -- G.Milde at web.de
