[dba-Tech] Printers!

Hi Jon

You learn to live with it though as a non-English country we are used
to that localised printer drivers do understand that A4 is used i
Europe. But if a user has a Windows in UK/US version installed, all the
trouble is back.

Worse yet, when Access 97 is installed on Windows XP, for some reason
when you receive a fresh copy of an application and open it the first
time, Access resets all paper formats to not that of the report, not the
default paper format of the printer (which always is A4) but - you
guessed it - Letter. Then you have to open every report, change the
paper format to A4 and save the report. Great fun!

Argh! I reckon that 90% of my problems with printers would be solved if
they
all defaulted to paper sizes that are actually in use in the UK... Why
don't
they all use A4 as standard? Surely the UK market is big enough that we
can
all stand up to HP and say "This is an A4 printer, why must you insist
on
putting "Letter" on it?" What is letter sized anyway?
 
I've worked for various companies here, and all of them use A4 as
standard,
and print the occasional piece on A3. That's it. No other sizes... no
Foolscap, Letter, Legal, Executive or Ledger... A4 and A3...
 
Sorry, I needed to get that off my chest :-)
