I went so far as to delete all references to the A4 page size in my ppd file.
This is a Dell 5110ca color laser printer (really nice under Windoze). As long as I don't use kprinter itself to do the printing (which defaults to go through encrypt), things work fine. Encrypt seems to be stuck on A4 as a default, even though I have it set to default to Letter in the encrypt.cfg file.

override anything in the cups settings, but it seems that it's not as simple
as that. I'm still having issues myself, but at least I did eventually find
where the errant page size was set, and I'm pretty sure it was in cups.
