Did you read the documentation? Is there any documentation? ARGH!
IAC, the Properties dialog box does not have a save button. So, I don't
know if it always saves values which you enter or never saves them. I
consider that a bug that should be reported.
I presume that you have opened the "Properties" dialog and selected your
paper size and despite this, it prints using some smaller size.
It also would make some difference what application you are using.
With additional information, I will try it although I don't have any A4
paper US letter is close enough.

It could be a distro problem since KDE depends on CUPS/FooMatic for the
actual printing. I would suspect that it is the actual printing system
that is at fault.

I presume that what you want is 2 up duplex that orders the pages
correctly (landscape: 4,1,2,3) so that you have a brochure when you fold
the page in half.
Don't know, put in a feature request.
