Paper Size setting has changed to Letter in Printer Setup

Hi Rav since the update the paper size reverts to letter and all our templates have been set up on A4 now when printing receive the below message.
Is there a way to maintain the A4 size when printing, previously updated in Printer setup but reverted to letter.

Hi @Maureen_PDM
Apologies for my delay in getting back to you. We're investigating the situation with the Paper Size setting in the Printer Setup menu is defaulting to Letter and not A4 like it was prior to the upgrade.
Switching the setting to A4 will retain that setting but unfortunately it reverts back when the session ends. We've got some info around this which I'll link below but I'm not sure its going to be overly helpful for you at this stage -
Rest assured, we're investigating this in conjunction with our technology partner and I'll keep you posted on any further news I hear back as soon as I have it.

Thanks Rav
I now know I wasn't missing something when setting the paper size each session.

Just letting you know that I have upgraded to the latest version of Hosted this afternoon, but sad to say, the problem still exists. The strange thing with this problem is this. I operate on three different companies in Reckon. For two of them, the problem exists, but for the third one, everything is fine and this problem does not exist with it. For the two problem companies, I did a rebuild three times but that did not cause the problem to go away.

Hi @John Graetz
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Just to clarify, do you mean there is 1 out of the 3 company files where the Paper Size setting in the Printer Setup window does not start at Letter when a new login session is started from scratch?
If so, that's quite an interesting observation as my understanding was that its currently occurring across the board.

Sorry, Rav - good pick-up! There is a subtle difference which I picked up on when doing testing across three different companies. Yes, you are correct. If I swap from one company to another, after having changed the paper size from Letter to A4, the size does stay at A4 when swapping to another company, provided it occurs during the same login SESSION! I tested this by testing the three companies in 3 different SESSIONS, each time commencing with a different company. Because I work almost exclusively from home, it is not uncommon to swap to another company during the same session. So to clarify this in another way, the start of each session does have the problem of the paper size reverting to Letter size for the first company opened in that session.
However, what was very interesting to note was that the problem that I have with pay slips printing is that with two of the companies, an extra copy, e.g. instead of 1 per employee, two are generated. But with the third company, only one copy generates correctly. All three companies use the same modified pay slip, so that mystery continues. As previously mentioned in an earlier post, there is a specific sequence of steps which I can follow which overcomes this problem and does produce a correct result.

Hi Rav, any news on the paper size issue?

Hi @Maureen_PDM and everyone,
We've been pushing our technology partner on this and they've confirmed that its certainly an issue which somewhat goes without saying. We've also advised them our recommendation on how to resolve the issue however at this stage we haven't been given an ETA just yet.
So the issue has been identified and is certainly in the right place for a fix however I don't have a timeframe just yet but I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Apologies, I know that's not the most ideal update but as soon as I more news, I'll post an update here.

Hi @CareyPoulter and everyone
Unfortunately there hasn't been much in the way of useful updates from AWS on this so far. We certainly haven't forgot about it and we've been pushing them on incorporating our recommendation into a fix. I've asked our team to follow up on this again and I'll keep you posted if I hear anything further on this.

It also affects the emailed version of the invoice - if you don't go in and change the print setting before you email an invoice it gets emailed as letter size and cuts off the bottom of the invoice - disappointing they aren't making this a priority as it affects everyday use and sending invoices is the main purpose of the software.

have you set the default paper size in the printer settings to A4?

Yes but it just defaults back to Letter the next time

Hi @Rav
Is there any update on a fix for this yet ? 🙏😫

Hey everyone, unfortunately I don't have any new info I can share about this at the moment.
Believe me when I say we've raised this with AWS on multiple occasions as we need them to apply the fix for this to platform infrastructure that Hosted runs on in the background. At this stage we haven't been given an update with any useful timelines yet.
I haven't forgot about this though, and neither have our Hosted product team and we're pushing for it as we know that its leading to a less-than-ideal experience for you all right now. I'll let you know as soon as receive any new info on this.
