Apparently my "enscript -2r" problem in FC5 was caused by the default
paper size being set to A4 in GNOME instead of Letter.  To fix this,
type printconf-gui, enter root password, select printer, click Edit,
select "Driver Options", change "Page Size" to Letter, click OK, click
Apply.  Repeat for each printer.

It seems the default paper size should be set more accurately based on
the user's location information during FC5 installation.  Or, simply
ask the user for a preferred default paper size.  Of course, the OS
should also be able to ask printers if a given paper size is loaded
and available.
