I just found ~/.lpoptions in my home directory, and in it was a section

haven't tried printing from OO.o, etc, so I may have hosed up something
else.)
I don't know how this file was generated, or what 1 or 4 means, or where
this file got the idea I wanted this setting to be 4, but I believe I'm
getting closer to solving my issue.
The printout seems a little low on the page, but I think I'll worry
about that another day.
have you checked
/etc/papersize ?
/etc/paper.config has the options, id assume 'US-Letter' for you.
