Please make the default paper size (A4/Letter) depend on users's location.
The default size should be dependant on the user's location.
A possibility to change it for all applications later on would be useful
in a few countries as well.
The A4 standard has been adopted by all countries in the world except
the United States and Canada. In Mexico, Colombia and the Philippines,
despite the ISO standard having been officially adopted, the U.S. "letter"
format is still in common use.
This means that 91-95% of the world population uses ISO 216 (i.e. A4 paper):

This feature would be great because it is really painful to configure
Ubuntu to only print on A4 paper, because different programs
use different settings, you have change them one at a time.

I agree with the previous comments that the default paper
size should be based on country of origin.
Rewrote the summary and checked the numbers. :-)
