In the latest versions of evince, ~/.gnome2/evince/print-settings has the needed paper size and layout settings. But without gnome-settings-daemon running, it can't get those settings. sysutils/gnome-settings-daemon has a bunch of audio dependencies I don't want, but I may try it later. If evince just had A4 as a default, it could be patched. But it appears to get the A4 size from gnome, somehow. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
