Okay, so I found the
files  /usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.2.1.3/printers/GENERIC.xml
and /usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.2.1.3/printers/PDF-WRITER.xml

and changed the "A4" to "US Letter".

The print dialog still comes up with A4 as the paper size, despite both
restarting the app, and then logging out and back in again?

When does this xml file get read? Do I need to restart some service
daemon? Reboot?
