Same problem. Set to en_us everywhere.  Set in KDE, set letter in cups, on the printer and every possible location.  KDE apps always default to A4.  GTK apps print in Letter just fine.

Hello All,

I discovered the same issue as well. It impacts things that use the native KDE print menu. Every last part of my system is set to US Letter (locale, system settings, printer config, CUPS), but every print or PDF export comes out in A4. For me the breakage appeared at the same time as the OP's bug ticket and has stayed that way since. I really noticed it when trying to print vendor checks from the flatpak of GNUCash. It was almost enough for me to leave Plasma for GNOME.  

Libreoffice, Firefox, and Chrome seem fine, but that is likely due to those apps using their own print subsystem.
