No, just make sure to compile it with options
PAGE=A4
PAPERSIZE=a4
A4=yes
in /etc/make.conf if you need ISO A4 support. It is basically

I'm considering it, at least for this laptop. Still, it would be nice to
know how to fix this prob

So you need to find what CUPS is using to convert PDFs to PostScript and
adjust that. It may be an A4 to letter conversion,

I'm using CUPS on FreeBSD 8.0, and any time I try to print from outside
Firefox the top and bottom of a PDF gets cut off. I don't have any means
installed for printing a PDF from inside Firefox, but Webpages and the
CUPS test page print just fine from within the browser. For instance:
