Hmm.... that's odd. I didn't have to do either of those things.
Just looked and both the printer default and document default paper
are US Letter. I don't recall having to do anything particularly
weird to make it happen, though it's probably been a couple months
(and I'm not as young as I used to be...).

I've got LO 3.4.4, what version are you using?
