This error occurs when the file /etc/papersize is missing.

Just run the following command to correct this error.
sudo echo "letter" > /etc/papersize

man papersize for a detailed help about papersize.

But indeed there is a bug because a2ps should fallback to a default
value if /etc/papersize doesn't exists.

Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin
work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from
here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

       Status: New => Confirmed

- a2ps exits with 'unknown medium libpaper' error

missing
