Take a look at libpaper and papersize-default-a4 Tha later just create symlink /usr/local/etc/papersize from /usr/local/etc/papersize.a4 https://www.freshports.org/print/libpaper/ https://www.freshports.org/print/papersize-default-a4/ I tried it now and it works for me. I also had Letter in LibreOffice. Now I have A4 as default in LibreOffice with this: # cat /usr/local/etc/papersize a4 So thank you for your question, it solved my problem too :) Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
