Yes there is a paper tray sensor.

Other - paper tray from printer settings

I use Ubuntu Linux.  I default all of my printers, except one, to letter 
portrait.

For a work-around, I just change the printer's default setting.  
Sometimes I like to use Borderless Letter size, so it is easier to 
export the document to PDF and use the PDF reader's printing option for 
that page size.
