Till: well, have you tried setting your system locale to something where
A4 is actually used?

The primary method for setting paper sizes is always going to be the
locale.  glibc provides support for LC_PAPER; CUPS keys off the locale
string -- there really is no need for an extra (conflicting) mechanism
to find out which paper size to use.

I understand that CUPS has support for libpaper (IMHO needlessly).
Adding support for this to system-config-printer would mean creating
Python bindings for it as there do not appear to be any currently.  It
is not something I am prepared to spend any time on.  I just don't see
the benefit.
