Hi,<br>
<br>
In my efforts to push FOSS in schools and colleges, I am
distributing free and open source softwares in schools and colleges.
All projects are uploaded on source forge.<br>
<br>
However I am facing some printing problem executing JAVA code on
bosslinux. I usually print output directly on A4 paper and suppress
print dialog. I wrote the program before I knew BOSS and was working
nicely on windows. On BOSS, the program executes properly but the
default output comes on letter size instead of A4. This trims some
left, right, top and bottom content.<br>
<br>
I tried various code snippets to pro grammatically set the paper A4
but it does not work. I am using cups-pdf and the pdf print is also
having the same problem. I thought first that it was a problem
specific to boss but a friend of mine sent me this.<br>
<br>

Yes, see<br>

<br>
The crucial information is the geographical location,<br>
i.e. the second part of a locale name, for example:<br>
en_GB is English for Great Britain => A4 paper<br>
en_US is English for United States => Letter paper<br>
<br>
I think that without an existing geographical location<br>
(in particular for "C" or "POSIX") it is just not possible<br>
to set another paper size than what is the default in the PPD.<br>
<br>
Or the fallback should be at least "A4" (if avialable in the PPD)<br>
because I think that A4 paper is more often used in the whole world<br>
than Letter.<br>
==============================<br>
<br>
Has anybody come across this. Will you please run the following java
code on any other linux version and let me know how it works or send
me the pdf output ? I have already set the default data so just run
the Java file and press the [Print Attendance] button. You will get
23 page document. Only one page will do for testing. pdf output will
be best.<br>
