enscript currently defaults to A4 size paper regardless of locale. It would be
nice if there were a way (possibly via
"dpkg-reconfigure") to set it to whatever the local standard is ("Letter" in
the US, for example).
This is already possible for the libpaper1 package, which enscript depends on.
Maybe enscript could consult
/etc/papersize as configured by libpaper1 to get its paper size.

Hi Rick, thanks for your bug report dated 20 Feb 2007. Sorry it has
taken so long to respond. I've recently adopted the package in Debian.
Enscript is linked against libpaper1 in Debian, as you said, and it does
already consult /etc/papersize. So, ``dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1'' will
change enscript's default paper size.
If you want to change this per-user, you can set $PAPERSIZE. There is a
wishlist bug open to somehow use the POSIX $LC_PAPER (possibly set by
your locale), but it looks difficult to get the name (not just the size)
of the paper from it:
http://bugs.debian.org/376350
I think this solves your problem, so I'll close this bug.
Thanks,
