The feature doesn't work, I'm unsure what positive spin you can put on that. And 
I've seen a note that it doesn't work on A4 (or whater the "nearly letter size" 
format is).

Are you asking if there exist other programs which generate letter/legal output, 
or if output for those other programs works.

I might suggest print to file and see if gv or similar Postscript viewers like 
the legal format output.

NOTE: you do have to have the printer set for the correct paper size in CUPS, 
unless that's been improved. But sending "raw" Postscript to a PS printer with 
appropriate paper should work. I don't have my big workgroup HP set up at the 
moment, or I would try legal and 11x17 (which is why I bought an expensive printer).
