It could be your pdf reader/printer.
I'd check your pdf configuration stuff.
On the system here, using acroread to view and print stuff, if I look
at the file -> page setup menu it claims to be printing on A4 paper with
dimensions width 8.5 ins and height 11 ins.
Clicking on the paper size and resetting A4 gives the correct A4 paper
sizes.

The systems people haven't been able to track down just what is going
on, and are starting to suspect that acroread has US letter sizes
built in somewhere.
