A4 (210x297mm) is just about a 1/4 inch narrower and a little longer in
dimensions than letter, so if you print at letter size on A4 it would
just have a little less margin to the right and a little more white
space at the bottom. Actually to find the size, I went to my EPOMNI
driver which gives the name and size of many different types. I found I
had it set at A4 (no wonder when I was printing photos they didn't
quite go on the page where I expected) and changed it to letter.
