CUPS sets the initial default page size based upon the locale - more
than likely either the locale is not properly set or the scheduler is
not picking up the currently configured language.  What locale is
set?

It would probably be useful to report this to Apple (via the printing
list at lists.apple.com) so they can look into this as well...
