I had not seen that option before! Thank you. It did seem to help! I told
it to copy the margins from my printer (0.17 inches on all four sides) and
it worked. I then tried changing them to 0.25 inches, and that worked, too.

But what a pain to select the Custom Size! It looks like I have to do it
with every printing, which means scrolling down beyond several dozen paper
sizes on this machine. (I suspect the sizes may have been copied from a
Brother printer driver).

The original sizes for Letter Size were as follows
Paper Size
  Width: 8.50 inch
  Height: 11.00 inch
Paper Margins
  Top: 0.25 inch
  Bottom: 0.56 inch
  Left: 0.25 inch
  Right 0.25 inch

As I said, when I copied the margins from the printer it changed Top,
Bottom, Left and Right to 0.17 inches, which worked. Changing them all to
0.25 inches worked, too.

One thing I had not noticed before is this only affects Transaction Reports
that are three or more pages long. So I'm updating the bug report.

At some point I'll try to figure out how to update the default page sizes.
It's probably buried deep in a CUPS option or printer definition file
somewhere.
