Selecting Default page size

[David Dudley]

I went so far as to delete all references to the A4 page size in my ppd
file.

This is a Dell 5110ca color laser printer (really nice under Windoze).  As
long as I don't use kprinter itself to do the printing (which defaults to go
through encrypt), things work fine.  Encrypt seems to be stuck on A4 as a
default, even though I have it set to default to Letter in the encrypt.cfg
file.
