The problem is that recent versions of ghostscript will (often)
assume a4 paper size, regardless of /etc/paper. This applies
after ghostscript 8.64-5 but I am not sure which version (8.70 has
the problem).
I don't know much about how this is "supposed" to work with /etc/paper
or /etc/papersize. I always thought those were ghostscript or grops things.
If you need to explicitly define a paper size for groff to use (that
isn't the default) I think you need: `-dpaper=letter' in addition to
`-P-pletter'. The latter is for grops.
