I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.04 on a new machine (x86_64 SMP).

rwilbur@rwilbur-desktop:/etc/cups/ppd$ ls
LaserJet-8000.ppd
rwilbur@rwilbur-desktop:/etc/cups/ppd$ grep Default LaserJet-8000.ppd | grep -i A4
rwilbur@rwilbur-desktop:/etc/cups/ppd$ grep Default LaserJet-8000.ppd | grep -i Letter
*DefaultPageSize: Letter
*DefaultPageRegion: Letter
*DefaultImageableArea: Letter
*DefaultPaperDimension: Letter

Firefox and print-manager test page both work at letter size. I can't print E-mail messages from Evolution as they are sent to the printer as 'A4' size pages and it asks me to load A4 paper of which I have none. I hit 'go' on the printer and it tries to print it on 'legal' size paper which also doesn't work well.

I used Evolution under Ubuntu 6.10 to print on letter size paper all the time for important messages. Something broke since then.

What other information can I provide to help solve this bug? Where should I look for the trouble?
