Demos are in A4 size - USA uses Letter

Is there an easy way to convert the demos to use Letter size instead of A4? I am a complete newbie and am trying to run the demos to get some ideas.

None will print on my ancient HP LaserJet 4 printer without it asking me to load A4 paper (which I cannot easily buy here in USA). Is this revenge for USA programs demanding Letter when all you EU guys have is A4?

    Use scale printing mode. You can select it in print window

    Scaling did not work, but selecting Letter size in the Page Settings of the Previewer did.

    As you suggested earlier in this thread, I tried that first. The printer LCD displayed "insert A4 paper into tray 3"

    It worked when I used the Page Settings dialog and selected Letter. No error messages and it printed successfully without clipping. It works consistently on all demo reports (but is a pain to set each time).

    So, problem solved. No need to beat the dead horse. :-)
