            Bug ID: 56509
           Summary: Page size letter as default only goes well for united
                    states
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.10
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: guenther.demetz@wuerth-phoenix.com

We discovered, that if not specifying explicitly any page size, by default each
sheet's page size is set to HSSFPrintSetup.LETTER_PAPERSIZE.
Well this paper size is the most common type in North America, Bolivia,
Colombia, Venezuela, the Philippines and Chile but the common page size in the
the rest of the word is the ISO Standard A4.
Our users in Europe complain about always have to change the paper size on each
sheet before going to print them.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Simply not predefine any default paper size in POI.
In this way the default page size of the selected printer get considered.
If inded a user wants a specific paper size, he always can set it explicitly by
using PrintSetup#setPaperSize.
IMHO this would be the more reasonable approach.
Currently to reach this behavior we explicitly set the page size
to the undocumented PAPERSIZE value 0.

WORKAROUND: sheet.getPrintSetup().setPaperSize((short) 0);

--- Comment #1 from Nick Burch <ap...@gagravarr.org> ---
Removing the current default would be a backwards incompatible change, so I
can't see us doing so given there's an easy workaround

I've added a new constant of SYSTEM_DEFAULT_PAPERSIZE = 0 to hopefully make it
easier for people to pick that if they want to, without breaking existing code
