I had no idea that the set-up information would be located there.  In
any event, I made the change, and it did not work for me, at least for
printing a test file from Evolution (your reply to my email message).

Here's the relevant section from the file as I modified it:

 <Option Id="Media">
      <Option Type="List" Id="PhysicalSize" Default="USLetter">

It seems to be the right syntax, as USLetter is used farther down the
file.  Exiting and re-entering Gnome did not help.

I tried Evince from the command line, and received a slew of warning
messages.  Perhaps these will help.

Does that help?
