+1.

Yes, i could set up to print to a computer based in the US from
Australia, but chances are that most of the printers I connect to are
A4.  And as it stands, cups lets me change the paper size per printer,
but in the case above it would be nice to get the defaults right.

OZh, and as to why I use US ENglish, well, most programming languages
spell centre center and I get sick of the underline appearing telling me
I can't spell.  There's enough on the screen that needs attention that I
don't need to be told about things that 'aren't' wrong, if you get my
drift.
