hmm... so this had already been set to "Letter" -- I tried "na-letter" 
as well and neither seems to have any effect.  I don't know whether I 
use xprint or postscript -- I don't remember messing with the print 
system, so I expect firefox goes through CUPS to getthe printer names. 
Is this the default behaviour?  Any other suggestions on where to set 
this value:
thx,
