You can set the default paper-size with a -d option in the LP command line. See p10 of the "Usage" manual (2.19.80 page ref.). BTW My experience is that A4 is the default paper size and I never gave it any thought until the folks surrounding me talked about °F, inches, pounds (weight) and letter paper. So there might be a locale setting that's overriding things.
