Well, that's unfortunate. That means another company couldn't, say, make and sell a variant of this that uses US letter sized paper instead of A4.

It would be awesome if one could craft a FOSS license that allows all FOSS uses of the project except creating a US letter variant.
A4 is awesome, and should become the US standard.

That can't happen, because your desired exclusion is incompatible with FOSS.
You could do that with a non-FOSS license.
It would be annoying for me to use paper with such strange dimensions. 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, etc are much easier measurements for me to remember. The root 2 thing with European paper is pleasing though.
As a European, I have no clue what's the dimensions of A4, A5, etc. We just say A4. I don't think that laymen, like me, know anything about their real size, and I never had a problem not knowing it.

Binary Charles and Ray Eames would like a word.
Since the printer takes flexible roll sizes and cuts its own pages, probably it would work out of the box with letter right?
I do get your point though, it would be nice if this was not an NC license
Ah yes, looking at the actual specs, it looks like it does support 11 inch rolls as well.
