When I print a man page by using
man -t foo | lpr
it comes out formatted for A4 size paper. How can I force
the output to be for letter size (8-1/2 by 11 in) paper?
This doesn't look as easy as it ought to be.

There seem to be two possibilities. Go into the cups web interface and
change the options of your default printer to letter and not A4.
Alternately use mpage in place of lpr and set the page size with the -b
option.
I wouldn't expect either to work especially well as the man command is
producing postscript for A4 paper.
Best solution is for USA to conform to world standards:-)
Best workaround, read /etc/profile.d/lang.sh for hints on what can be
set in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
