paper size

[nori heikkinen <nori@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

trying to print things via enscript and mpage.  they're both
defaulting to a4 paper, and i can't figure out how to specify letter
paper.

with enscript, -M letter looks like it should work:

    -M name, --media=name
            Select  an  output media name.  Enscript's default output
            media is determined from libpaper and falls back to A4.

... but does not.

the -b Letter option from mpage looks similarly promising:

    -bpapertype
          Prepare output for selected paper type.  Papersize can be A3
          for European  A3,  A4 for European A4, Letter for US Letter
          or Legal for Legal sized paper.  For default see 'mpage -x'.
          To see  the list  of currently available types, just give
          the 'mpage -bl' or 'mpage -b?' command (Note: mpage exits
          after finding such option use.)

.. but also poos.

is there some environment variable i need set?  this works fine on
other debian systems i use (that i did not, unfortunately, install
myself) without `env` showing anything about paper sizes ...

tia,
