Emacs 24.2, OSX 10.8.2

My printer has A4 as the default paper format.
But whenever I print for poscript print,
it asks for letter paper and I have to manual override this.
Googling I founr I should do

(setq ps-paper-type 'a4)


but this does not help either.

Is there a way way to get rid of this annoyance?
