Partial success. |

I can save in pdf file and print it using cups it works but I can not |
| 39 |
set the right letter size in dvips. |
| 40 |
I've tired the commands: |
| 41 |
texconfig dvips paper letter |
| 42 |
texconfig xdvi us |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
It doesn't work. Printer is still asking for A4 paper size. |
