I'm looking through the s-c-printer code in f8.  And it looks like
LC_MESSAGES is being used.
/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:

  self.language = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES)

and then...

  cupshelpers.setPPDPageSize(ppd, self.language[0])

and. setPPDPageSize from cupshelpers.py sets Letter for a narrow set of locales.


Perhaps there is a bug here, but it certainly appears to me that the
intent is to do the right thing based on locale.
