[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Closed -- this is not a CUPS bug, but one in OpenOffice.org and in kprinter
(or any other CUPS print client that does not support the CustomPageSize
parameter).

CUPS supports the requested 21cm x 21cm in its commandline clients lp and
lpr. This

   lp -d printername -o PageSize=Custom.595x595 /path/to/filename
   lpr -Pprintername -o PageSize=Custom.595x595 /path/to/filename

can be used to print a file onto a 595x595 sheet (595 points == 21 cm).
Hmm... maybe the CUPS documentation could be improved for this point.

(If the printer mechanics support that file size is a completely different
question, also outside the scope of CUPS).
