This is also occurring for me in Dapper AMD64 2006-04-25. I have a
Lexmark E232 connected by USB. It is detected correctly and I have
configured it to use the Generic PCL 6 driver. It defaults to A4. I have
altered /etc/papersize to letter but it still shows A4 in the
dialogues. I also note that I
[25/Apr/2006:11:32:41 -0400] CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer
client-error-bad-request: The printer-uri
ipp://localhost/printers/PCL-6/PCL-XL-Printer contains invalid characters.
Thanks,

As a workaround, I made a copy of the PPD file I wished to use and then editted
the new copy - the diff is below.
cp
