Also, if I'm reading the zlogs correctly, even when A4 documents
printed successfully on letter paper, they came out looking ugly with
weird margins (since A4 is 8.26" x 11.69"). Will such a printout be
accepted for theses, for example? (Does it have 1" margins on all
sides as per http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/thesis-specs/
#margins?) If so, then fine. If not, I would hate to see someone
print out a huge thesis only to find out the margins are all ugly and
they just wasted 100 sheets of paper.
