This is intended to be set to the right thing (as specified in your
locale) already, but there are some drivers that have weird names for
the paper sizes.
Please could you file a bug and include the output of 'locale'?
Thanks,

Thanks, Tim. I can see MY problem now and it is probably not a bug (in FC1, that is;
FC2T1 is at home). My System Settings -> Language is set to English, so my locale
shows "en_US.UTF-8" for everything, including LC_PAPER. If I change the
Language to Estonian, everything changes to "et_EE.UTF-8" and the printer setup
gives me A4. This would probably be okay for Aunt Sigrid.
Still, it would be useful if I could set my locale to Estonian and still use English.
Studying further...
