How can I know if the print job is specifying a non-default paper size?
Follow Tim Waugh's suggestion:
,----[ lpoptions -l yourqueuename | grep PageSize ]
| PageSize/Page Size: Custom Letter *A4 Photo Photo5x7 3x5 5x8 A5 A6 B5JIS
| CDDVD80 CDDVD120 Env10 EnvC5 EnvC6 EnvDL EnvISOB5 EnvMonarch Executive
| FLSA Hagaki Legal Oufuku w558h774 w612h935

I have configured the printer option to use A4 paper in
system-config-printer. Is that sufficient?
Thank you all for helping out!
Best,
