enscript gets its default media size from the system default from
libpaper.  You can specify a new media size with the -M option, or you
can change the system default, usually with /etc/papersize, or with an
environment variable.

If you do "enscript --list-media" you can see what all the media types
it knows are.  You probably want "Letter", so add this:

-M Letter

...to your enscript command line.
