Hello,
only "for the fun" an addendum how mad all that stuff actually is:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# echo hello | a2ps -1 -M a4 -o- | ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 - >/tmp/hello.a4.pdf
$ evince /tmp/hello.a4.pdf
[printing from evince into the testy print queue
results /var/spool/cups/d00266-001]
# cp /var/spool/cups/d00266-001 /tmp/hello.a4.evince.printout.pdf
# pdfinfo /tmp/hello.a4.pdf

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When printing an A4 PDF file from evince, it generates
a new Letter PDF printout.
Also viewing the files using
# gs -r50 /tmp/hello.a4.pdf
versus
# gs -r50 /tmp/hello.a4.evince.printout.pdf
shows the difference.
