In might depend on which printing method you use (postscript or xprint).
I use postscript printing, and for me, the following line in "user.js"
(or "prefs.js" or the "about:config" page...) works:

    user_pref("print.postscript.paper_size", "A4");

(Of course, this sets the paper size *to* A4, so you should replace "A4"
with whatever paper size you want to use.)
