I think it's just done for A4 in such a way that the bits that get left off on
US sized paper are non-essential, actually, now that you mention it. I have
indeed printed lots of "universal" sized documents without issue, and that's
obviously not what this is, in spite of the claims made by the place where I
bought these. (Or my misunderstanding of what they actually said. Not sure,
and it doesn't really matter at this point.)

Whatever does the trick, and that did. I'll just run all of these files
through that and carry on my merry way. It worked perfectly, thanks!
