Most printers that support at least language level 2 allow the 
specification of page size policies.
If this feature is properly defined in your printer's PPD, call
"configure printer"
from the web interface, and set "Paper policy" (or whatever it is
called)
to "NearestSizeAdjust" (or whatever is is called).

That won't cure your weird print manager but produce readable output at
least.
