[SOLVED] Default print paper size in Arch linux

I am trying to change default print paper size "Letter" to "A4".

my locale is en_US.UTF-8

I set a4 in /etc/papersize, not work.

I generated en_GB.UTF-8 and set

LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8

in /etc/locale.conf, not work.

I even set my locale to

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

in /etc/locale.conf, but not work.

I use qpdfview and xpdf. They all show print paper size as Letter all the time.

Please Help! thanks in advance.

Yes, thanks. it works.

But my problem is with qpdfview and xpdf. They don't listen cups' default print paper size.
They always show "Letter" in their print box and even if I change it to A4, Letter size is sent to my network printer that cause error at printer.
So I install evince and print. Evince show A4 as default print paper size and it works well.

Therefore, I should open another thread about the problem with qpdfview and xpdf, I think.
