      <title>Configuration Information</title>

      <para>
        The paper size is automatically determined from the system locale;
        see <literal>LC_PAPER</literal> in <filename>locale(7)</filename>.
        If you want to override it, create a <filename>papersize</filename>
        file in the user configuration directory.  For example:
      </para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv ~/.config &amp;&amp;
echo "a4" &gt; ~/.config/papersize</userinput></screen>

      <para>
        If you want to override the paper size globally (for all users),
        set up the <envar>PAPERSIZE</envar> environment variable.  For
        example:
      </para>

<screen role="nodump"><userinput>echo "PAPERSIZE=a4" &gt; /etc/profile.d/libpaper.sh</userinput></screen>

      <para>
        You may use a different paper size, such as
        <quote><literal>letter</literal></quote>.
      </para>
