Can't change print paper size

Hi,

So the default paper size for the printer keeps on defaulting to letter. When we require A4.

In previous versions this could be fixed by changing paper_data to 9.

However on the latest version of Firefox this option is no longer there. Instead it is replaced with print_paper_id. I have tried different values and this will not work.

Any ideas on how we can get this to default to A4 as the paper size?

Thanks.

Can you create an account on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ and file a bug report there for the developers to investigate this?

Thank you. I don't seem to be able to access https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1672398 though since it says "You are not authorized to access bug 1672398". Did you tick one of the checkboxes to mark the bug as confidential or a security bug though? If so, can you undo that?

Hi, I didn't. And it doesn't seem to let me deselect anything.
