Printer preferences and FC4

[bengt.lindholm at salnet.fi]

I used system-config-printer to configure the printers and the "http:
//localhost:631" only to check if the printers were as I wanted. The only 
problem with the printers is, that I have to channge the paper size from letter 
to A4: after every reboot, every   application, every printer....

I would really prefer, if the applications were able to have a look at the 
system-config-printer defaults (or the http://localhost:631 - cups-defaults) 
and use those. I do not like to use bad language, but Windows (sorry, sorry...) 
has solved that problem, why not Linux? So, how to fix it?
