[cups] Default size

[ALi]

we are creating the printer with cups.
so i think it is using some locale?? i would like to left the program we
are using, without modifying, and it is better to let cups has always the
same papersize (at least for our system)

but i would like to know what setting should we change to have default
paper size A4 instead of letter, in the locale we are using. ( i dont mind
to touch system settings like locales o files that regards to paper size)
