I don't know much about how this is "supposed" to work with /etc/paper or /etc/papersize. I always thought those were ghostscript or grops things.
If you need to explicitly define a paper size for groff to use (that isn't the default) I think you need: `-dpaper=letter' in addition to `-P-pletter'. The latter is for grops.
