Well I noticed this a while ago. I like you tried to find an option in
evolution to change the A4 printing. I did not find it. As soon as I
made the lpoptions suggestion I realized that htis was not the answer
since lpoptions -l said the Pagesize was Letter.

Unfortunately I assumed that it was my stupidity nor a evolution
problem. I was obviously wrong.
