Do you have a geometry.cfg hanging around?
Run one document (Hellow World one) with -recorder and send the .fls

what does this file say? Maybe by chance something about A4???
I tried it on my computer and the documents come out in letter
without any problem.
Is it so hard to read the output?
Bug can be closed, misconfiguration of the user.
