Divorcing SuSE and A4

[Matthew Carpenter]

There are several issues I've come across with SuSE, which I don't quite understand.  Coming from COL, I never had to deal with these.
The first one is what incantations do I need to bellow in order to get anything to print on US Letter!?  I have so far found 3 different places within KDE/YAST to set this and I STILL have my printer asking me to insert A4 paper.  I've changed it in every place I know how:
Printer Config for KDE, Internationalization config for KDE, Yast2 Printer configuration.  This has lost it's humor.
It looks like printers that I add with Yast2 work correctly.  And I can't seem to get the KDE-added printers work (you know, the "Oops, I don't have that printer but I can add it from the print dialog" printers)

Other issues will follow as I remember them.  

Thanks,
Matt
