If you're using OpenOffice, there's a file, psprint.conf that contains the
printer default.  On my SuSE 8.1 system it's:
	/opt/OpenOffice.org/share/psprint/psprint.conf

Change PPD_PageSize=A4 to Letter, and you should be OK.

``A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.  It can only
exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of
the public treasury.  From the moment on the majority always votes for the
candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the
result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always
to be followed by a Dictatorship.''
