using hppi to set up A4 printer queue on hpux 11.0

I am running hppi 10.18 on hpux 11.0 and need to set up a printer that prints A4 letter size. I see the option for setting up the banner page with A4 but not the other. Any help would be appreciated.

You don't indicate the printer model but here's the general idea:

cd /var/spool/lp/interface
cd model.orig
edit the applicable interface file (e.g. myprinter)

There will be a line very similar to
paper="def" that should be changed to "paper=ISOA4".
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
