LaserWriter 8.4.3: Pro 810 Defaults Not Saving

Customer using LW 8.4.3 with OS 8 and a Pro 810, wants to have US Letter (not US Letter Small) be the default paper size. He can go to Page Setup, select "US Letter" as the page size, hold down Option and click OK and then click Save to make those settings the default. However, when Page Setup is reopened, it is set to US Letter Small again.
There is a known problem specifically with the LW Pro 810 PPD that causes it to always default to "US Letter Small". This has been reported to engineering and they have resolved it in the LW Pro 810 PPD that will be shipping with the next revision of LaserWriter 8, beyond 8.4.3.

Note: The Option-Save trick with Page Setup works for the most part, however, there are some applications that do not take advantage of it.
