Only my home printer, the HP-1000 was set up before I
changed /etc/papersize, so its default is still A4, but the others all
say "letter." Ironically, because it has very forgiving paper handling,
the HP-1000 prints the A4 pages, but leaves no bottom margin. The HP
printers at the office require manual feed of A4 and the 5Si chokes.

Output of "grep "DefaultPage" /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd is:
