When using graphics or graphicx, and maybe other packages too, the  
paper size of the document is set to the LaTeX default of US letter,  
but this change is not recorded in the PDF output file. So it can  
happen that a printer or PDF viewer displays the document as if  
projected on ISO A4 paper. And there can, of course, be more  
complications.

A file /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/geometry/geometry.cfg  
with the contents

	\ExecuteOptions{a4paper}

should make everything clear.
