I have tried the following two command lines

LC_PAPER="en_IE.utf8" system-config-printer
LC_ALL="en_IE.utf8" system-config-printer

and created a new printer each time. In both cases A4 should be selected by default, but I got A4 only for the latter case.

I think having two methods to determine the default paper size is confusing. We should better do away with libpaper in Hardy completely and make sure that all programs needing a default paper size using the locale settings (preferably LC_PAPER and fall back to LC_ALL if LC_PAPER is undefined). In addition, there should be a GUI tool added where the locale settings can be easily changed, so that if a user goes to another country temporarily with his laptop that he can quickly adapt settings to that country.
