New GUI need:
To Set the System-Wide Default Papersize.
The current method is to navigate to /etc/papersize & rewrite the contents with Admin priviledges & save.
Not that difficult when you know, but hard to find, or find again after a lapse.
The default setting probably depends on something you choose when initially installing Ubuntu, maybe Language?
Doesn't seem to be the more logical "Location", since I always end up with "Letter" here in France where A4 is the only option you will ever need.
Can't think how much time I have wasted trying to reset defaults in OpenOffice & LibreOffice, where I might have expected to be able to do it, only to find my good work over-ruled by some invisible hand.
The invisible hand is /etc/papersize.
To me, the logical place to find a GUI selection of Default Papersize would be in Printer Properties, becoming a Printer-wide, rather than system-wide default.
