Please put the unit only once, at the very end of the expression.

WRONG: lpr -P <printer> -o PageSize=Custom.20.32cmx17cm <file>

CORRECT: lpr -P <printer> -o PageSize=Custom.20.32x17cm <file>

Keep in mind that this only works if your printer's PPD offers a custom
page size.

If you use the paper very frequently, create an "Instance" of your
printer:

lpoptions -p <printer>/invoices -o PageSize=Custom.20.32x17cm

Now two queues appear in your printing dialogs: <printer> and
<printer>/invoices. The latter is for invoices and uses your custom
paper size by default.

NOTE: Always where I have written <printer> put your print queue name
without the brackets,

If this does not help you, please attach the PPDs of your dot matrix
printers (/etc/cups/ppd/<printer>.ppd) so that we can give you further
help.
