Did you configure the default page size? Start "kups", right click on
your printer, choose "Configure printer" and set up all default settings
for it. Or use the web interface of CUPS (http://localhost:631/): Click
on "Printers" and search for your printer in the list. Click on the
appropriate "Configure Printer" button and set the defaults. Click the
"Apply" button of the appropriate group.
For user specific option settings use the facilities of "xpp" and
"qtcups".
If you do not use a2ps you can also set up individual border widths,
column numbers, and font sizes for simple text files. PostScript is
always printed "as is". Adjustments always have to be done in the
program generating the PostScript (here a2ps).
