How about address this whole Letter vs A4 issue by putting an option in 
S-C-P that change the paper size...

Server Settings --> Set default paper/media size to [ users choose the 
A4 or Letter  ] and S-C-P changes it where it needs to be change for example
the option  might change LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" to LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"...

Best regards.
