If "-o media" option is omitted by lp command, a value of media option,
which is given to a driver
 from CUPS, differ from version to version. 

For example, if we set the default setting of our driver as “A4” by
CUPS GUI;
(CUPS1.3.X)  media = A4
(CUPS1.4.X)  media = iso_a4_210x297mm
(PPD definition) *PageSize A4/A4 210 x 297 mm: "<</PageSize[595.2
841.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

In the same way, if we set the default setting of our driver as "16x9
widesize (102 x 181 mm)" by CUPS GUI;
(CUPS1.3.X)  media = HIVISION
(CUPS1.4.X)  media = adobe_169widesize_4x7.10972in
(PPD definition)*PageSize HIVISION/16x9 wide size (102 x 181 mm):
"<</PageSize[288.0 512.0]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

We think the operation of CUPS1.3.X seems to be correct 
because users can use the media ID which defined in PPD file.
