I can also confirm the same problem. Edgy always sends jobs as a4, regardless of user settings or print driver for several different models of network printer, using both IPP and LPD.
The same solution ('cat letter > /etc/papersize') "fixes" the problem.
I would upgrade this bug to critical. Ignoring user settings and causing behavior that disables a major subsystem for a large number of people (e.g., most US users) is not a bug of "medium" importance.
