My personal rant is that I want a global setting on every printer to override differences in requested page size.

For example, being in the UK, I print to A4, and that is the only size of paper I have available for my printer. If I print stuff from browsers, or documents from US people which are set to page size Letter, I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO THE PRINTER AND PRESS A BUTTON TO PRINT ON THE ONLY PAPER AVAILABLE (A4). Just print everything on A4 please - ignoring page size requests (or at least let me choose the option to do this override).

This is such a pain, and occurs very frequently. Am I alone? I rather assume the inverse applies for US people.

It could be a setting on the printer queue, but then you are at the risk of every operating system or indeed application such as browser getting it wrong... Printer manufacturers please just add a setting to your options - pretty please...




Haven't had that happen for ages...
