    What is the meaning of the preferences variables
    print.printer_[xxx].print_paper_size_unit
    where [xxx] is the name of a printer?

    I have the following, all having the "user set" value of 0: print.printer_Fax.print_paper_size_unit print.printer_HP_LaserJet_200_color_M251_PCL_6.print_paper_size_unit print.printer_doPDF_10.print_paper_size_unit


    On the slim chance that you're still here and still interested:

    Paper type is mapped to size units. US paper sizes use inches.
    International uses millimeters.

    A value of 0 for .print_paper_size_unit means that the margins under
    File, Page Setup, Margins & Header/Footer will display in inches. A
    value of 1 means that the margins will display in millimeters.

    You can test this for yourself. First, look at File, Page Setup, Margins
    & Header/Footer for your selected printer. If print.printer_[xxx].print_paper_size_unit for that printer is set to 0,
    the margins should display in inches. Go to about:config, find the
    preference for that printer, double-click it and change the value to 1.
    Now open File, Page Setup, Margins & Header/Footer again and the margins
    should display in millimeters.

    His last posting here was late April 2021, that would seem to indicate
    he now frequents the "new group" only.
