>Description:
The package print/mpage does not obey the default paper size as set
in /etc/mk.conf with this:
PAPERSIZE=Letter
It's builtin default is A4, which doesn't work so well on printers
filled with Letter size paper.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build print/mpage and print something to a printer filled with Letter
size paper.
>Fix:
I don't really know. Perhaps it would be possible to replace line 47
of mpage's Makefile with this:
PAGESIZE=$PAPERSIZE
if $PAPERSIZE is set?
