Is it possible to force default paper size settings, looking for enterprise solution

Hi,

Is it possible to force default paper size settings for printer ? Looking for enterprise solution.

Problem is that default setting is "letter", that causes issues. I would like to set default setting to "A4". BTW default setting is "letter" is only for Mozilla. For Chrome, Word, Notepad, Adobe printing paper size is correct - "A4".

Navigation - "Click - Print - Properties - Advanced - Paper Size (Letter)."

prefs.js contains these settings, but settings needs to be defined for each printer. ("C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\European.Commission\prefs.js")

user_pref("print.printer_PRINTER NAME.print_page_delay", 50); user_pref("print.printer_RINTER NAME.print_paper_data", 0); user_pref("print.printer_RINTER NAME.print_paper_height", " 11.00"); user_pref("print.printer_RINTER NAME.print_paper_name", ""); user_pref("print.printer_RINTER NAME.print_paper_size_unit", 0);


Is it possible to force print_paper settings via mozilla.cfg for all printers per PC (not per user)?

Thanks.
