[cups.general] What will CUPS do if I send A4 to a Letter printer.

[clemens at dwf.com]

The Subject line says it all.
What SHOULD happen if I use lpr to send a document that will
want A4 paper to a printer whose PPD file says it only does
Letter?

Should I get an error message at the time of the LPR?
Later? 
How?

Or will the print job just sit in the print queue forever?

Or print as best it can?
