I can only speak for CUPS in a Linux environment with postscript page
printers....

To my knowledge CUPS doesn't work that way (or if it does, it shouldn't and
hasn't in any other Linux app I have ever used).  If you send a document to a
printer on a paper size it doesn't have, the *printer* should resolve that
difference, not the application and not CUPS.  Example- printer has letter
paper in two trays.  You send legal to it, the printer should ask the user to
"load legal".  The user can decide, at the printer, to cancel the job, change a
tray to legal, insert it manually, or tell printer to force print on loaded
media (fit to page, if it has that option on the printer).

This issue sounds similar to Bug 61189 where PDF printing mode is apparently
not sending a paper size at all to the printer.  Our only workaround in our
production environment had been to switch back to postscript printing, which
worked fine until the regression described in Bug 67802 popped up in 4.1.0.
