For the record, I was not asking how to print out Web pages with  
"proper page layout", or use PDF files as sources. I was just trying  
to figure out how to get Doxygen to print the friggin' PDF on US  
letter size paper. It took me A DAY to even find out where the line  
was in the Doxygen stylesheet (and even then, changing the line  
didn't work). Nuts. Life is too short for this nonsense.
