You could also use the printer config tool to reset each printer's default
paper size.
While this is an issue, it's hard to tell if it's Tom's issue without more
information. For one thing, A4 is narrower and taller than US Letter, so
if anything, one would expect *more* lines per page.
There is a CUPS bug that has to do with the number of lines on a page when
plain text is printed, but it's hard to know either if that affects
processed pages like those from OOo.
