I have noticed somewhat the same thing. I would think this could be
changed by the lpoptions command.

No suggestion in the bugzilla reference from deerfieldtech that
lpoptions would alter this behavior - and no efforts on my part
disproved that. It's obvious that this was a hard coded problem upstream
and apparently that have put out a fix which hopefully is adopted soon
on Fedora 7.
I am rather surprised by the lack of discussion on this here...which
suggests some or many of the following:
- few people using US sized paper are using Evolution
- few people using GNOME on Fedora 7 (KDE no longer defaults to
using Evolution)
- few people print from Evolution
- few people using Fedora 7
