    I can't change my default printing size to A4, despite numerus attempts has been done...


    I got my laptop from the U.S. and my printer was from Malaysia. I'm now returned to Malaysia, I managed to connect my laptop to printer, but my printing just comes out wrong and has no color despite I turned off the grayscale or black and white option. I change the size of paper to A4 Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Office and etc. before printing. However the printing just comes out wrong. I believe is the miscommunication between my laptop and printer, thus causing the misalignment in size. This issue is also perfectly described on this website. I tried to change my regional settings to Malaysia, but nothing still happens. I also tried to reinstall the driver for my printer earlier. It does not work either. This is really driving me nuts.

    :)

    How to change Microsoft PDF printer default paper size from Letter to A4?

    Hi, my problem is Microsoft Print to PDF is printing a Letter-sized doc as A4. In the Microsoft Print to PDF Properties dialogue box under 'Features', the only paper size listed under 'Paper available' is A4. But if I click on 'Preferences' and then 'Advanced'
    there's a list of paper sizes available that shows 'Letter' has been selected. So it seems the problem is the Paper/Output option I've selected as 'Letter' is not changing the A4 'Paper available' feature in the Microsoft Print to PDF Properties. Does anyone
    know how I can change that or add a 'Letter' option to the Properties dialogue box? It's really important I get this fixed. Thanks in advance if anyone does know.

    Changing the default paper size

    How do you change the default paper size from letter to A4. ALL the paper I buy in the UK is A4 and the letter size, although only slightly out, throws out my formatting, particularly when I do a mail merge or print a document with a header or footer. Again, Help.
