Comment 21 for bug 41147

semola,

You might be having this problem due to your locale not using A4 but you personally are. en_US.UTF-8 is setup for letter by default. I am not certain whether the various apps use /etc/papersize or the locale information. But there is definitely a LC_PAPER to set the default papertype for a locale.
