This bug also shows up using the driver "Generic PCL 5c Printer
Foomatic/cljet5" on a Dsc224, which supports A3. I can add the correct
Papersize/region/imageable area options to /etc/cups/Dsc224.ppd by hand,
and it will print A3.

-When trying to print A3 from Inkscape, selecting the correct tray by
hand, and document properties are set to A3, the printer complains
"Incorrect paper, expected: A4".

-Funny enough, if I print A3 from Inkscape using "Default" tray, the
printer is no longer complaining, but prints instead two A4 pages. One
with half the A3 page on it, one blank.

I don't know what is causing this, but I suspect the printer or CUPS.

A workaround for me has been printing to cups-pdf from inkscape, then
printing the resulting PDF by hand with: " lp -d Dsc224 -o PageSize=A3
-o PageRegion=A3 -o ColorMode=Contone Printed_from_inkscape.pdf "

This behaviour may or may not be related, but the fact that it is
possible to print A3 perfectly by hand makes me think something more is
wrong with CUPS or inkscape...
