On my Debian system, the file /etc/papersize has simply "a4" as the
contents.  No "PAPERSIZE" or similar.  According to the manual page for
papersize in section 5, this file is used unless overridden by the
environment variables PAPERSIZE or PAPERCONF, the latter pointing to a
file which specifies the size.

YMMV, of course.

Anyway, glad you sorted out your problem!
