Every time I try to print something the default page size is set to Letter, but in my office we use A4, and I have to change it every time I print something. I tried the solutions in this thread http://support.mozilla.org/es/questions/776154 but I still have the same problem.

Chosen solution

I solved it! For anyone having a similar problem try this.

Change the default printer, choose another one.

Change something in that printer and close firefox.

Reopen firefox and choose yet another printer (not the first one).

Change something in that printer and close firefox again.

Reopen firefox and choose the first printer. Select A4 as default paper and close firefox one last time.

Reopen firefox and the problem should be gone. Weird, innit?
