Ok, try this. Retrieve the *HP5SI table:
RTVWSCST DEVTYPE(*TRANSFORM) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI) SRCMBR(HP5SI)
SRCFILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC)
You have now a sourcefile with all the HP5Si commands in it. Here are
also the
commands for selecting paper.
It looks like this:

The PCL command to select A4 is 1B266C323641.
You can do three things:
- either remove above section completely
  and it will never ask for papertype again
- remove some of the PAGSIZE sections (escpecialy those that select
  LEGAL) (check your printermanual)
- edit above section and make sure the command to select A4
  is set at the apropiate page-sizes.

After you have edited the table, compile it with:
CRTWSCST WSCST(QGPL/HP5SI) SRCFILE(QGPL/QTXTSRC)
and apply it to your printerdefinition by recreating the remote outq:
CRTOUTQ ... MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST) WSCST(QGPL/HP5SI)


BE AWARE !!!!
The layout of the A4 paper differs from LEGAL: the margins are
different.
This might mean that you can't print enough characters and/or
lines. You might need to change the printborders as well in the WSCST.

If you need more info about the Workstation Customization Table, try the
Workstation Customization Programming manual (SC41-3605-01)
