In defense of the Brits, I just was looking at a 1969 brochure for a
Ford car. In it was written, "powered by a 5 litre (302 c.i.d) engine."
So there you have it - an American brochure spelling the word with the
"e" at the end.
Wrangling this post back on-topic, I'm curious if the OP was able to set
his/her printer correctly. Now that we've determined the world is non-
standard, I'm guessing the person should make sure the default paper
size is set to whatever the locally accepted version is.
