Hello Andrew.

Thanks for reporting this problem. Unfortunately it's not easy to say
what's going on there. From bugzilla view it seems that evince printing
is completely broken. For me it seems that all printing settings are
hard-coded in poppler and we have no framework to set them now. Can you
do the following:

1. Try to print to file and check if PS file produced is also letter.
2. Try to print PS file of legal size.

If only first fails, this is likely to be poppler issue if second fails
also, it may be evince or libgnomeprint issue. Anyhow, please file a bug
about that to poppler bugzilla or to evince bugzilla.

Thanks.
