[This is verging on off-topic for the Cygwin list, as the answer to my
question is probably not Cygwin-specific, but I figure that lots of
Cygwin users are looking for an lpr replacement, and others may be
having the same problem.]

Yep, it's A4. One salient point is that I changed PRN to the address
of a network printer (a duplexing A4 laserjet printer). The printout
appears on the printer, but the printer think's it's a Letter document
(even though the printer defaults are set to A4), and won't print it
until I override the paper setting on the printer (which has to be
done for each and every job).
Is there a better way to redirect the output to a network printer,
which doesn't mess with the paper size (or at least takes note of the
default paper size in the Control Panel) ?
