I have noticed that FF/TB page size defaults don't match the cups defaults. My method is to open about:config (easy in Firefox, might need an extension in Thunderbird) and search for "print_paper_name" and change it from "na_letter" to "iso_a4".
Patrik Shanahan explained to me earlier how to set the defaults through the File->Page Setup menu option, but my question was about a way to set this globally, i.e. for all users and all applications on a system or a site. According to Johannes Meixner applications should get their defaults from the cups settings, but that doesn't appear to be working completely.
How about editing a file in /usr/lib/{firefox,thunderbird}/defaults/preferences? I don't know exactly how the mozilla default preferences system works, but that seems to be where firefox and thunderbird get their defaults from. add something like pref("print.print_paper_name", "iso_a4"); there (to one of the existing files or a new file, dunno which will work, i'm only guessing). Or edit /usr/lib/{firefox,thunderbird}/defaults/profile/prefs.js - that is the skeleton user preference file for new profiles. Although, obviously that will only take effect if a new profile is created. Not "proper" solutions, but if you just want the job done ...
